How to Use Italic Font in R, to create an italic typeface in R plots, use the basic syntax shown below.
How to Use Italic Font in R
These examples demonstrate how to apply this syntax in real-world situations.
Example 1: The plot’s title in italic font
The code below demonstrates how to use the italic font in the plot title in R:
Specify data
x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9) y <- c(18, 12, 29, 10, 12, 13, 15, 12, 15, 25)
Make a scatterplot with an italicized title.
plot(x, y, main = substitute(paste(italic('Scatterplot of x vs. y'))))
Note that we can also choose to make only some of the title’s words italic:
make a scatterplot with only a portion of the title italicized.
plot(x, y, main = substitute(paste(italic('Scatterplot of'), ' x vs. y')))
Example 2: Italic Font on Axis Labels of Plot
create a scatterplot with axes labels in italics
plot(x, y, xlab = substitute(paste(italic('X Label'))),
ylab = substitute(paste(italic('Y Label'))))
Example 3: Italic Font with Text in Plot
Now add italic text at location x=3, y=16
text(3, 16, substitute(paste(italic('datasciencetut.com'))))
