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

[Sarah Goslee]

I don't know of an automatic way, but of course you can make it as
large as you'd like.


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


text(2, 3, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) # repeat Rolf's original
text(locator(1), "*", cex=3) # click on the asterisk: how big do you want it?
