[R] [FORGED] Re: Can I increase the size of an asterisk in plotmath()?

[Paul Murrell]

Hi

There are a couple of plotmath expressions that control text size, plus 
in this case you could just drop the superscripting (which I believe was 
Goran's advice) ...

plot(1:10, type="n")
text(2, 8, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) #Rolf's original
text(2, 6, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^textstyle("*"))))
text(2, 4, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)*"*")))
