[R] changing font to italic for one entry in legend()

[arun]

HI,

Have you tried italic()?
legend(expression(italic("Study area")).

It is untested as I am not in front of my linux system.
A.K.


legend(expression(italic("Expression species")

Subject: [R] changing font to italic for one entry in legend()

Hello,

I need to change the font for one of the items (C. elegans) in my
legend to italic.  Can someone suggest how to accomplish this?

legend('bottomright', bty='n', c('C. elegans range', 'Study area'),
cex=0.8, fill=c('light gray', 'white'), border=c('black','black'))

I tried using lab.font=c(1,3) but R ignored and did not write the legend at all.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks.
V
