Facet labels involving a greek symbol

Question

Suppose I have the data and plot as follows:

mydata = data.frame(x=rnorm(4), y=runif(4), tau=c(0,0,1,1))
ggplot(mydata) + geom_point(aes(x=x, y=y)) + facet_wrap(         


        

Answer 1

There is an easier solution to this. The simulated data variable names have been changed for clarity in how they work within the labeller argument.

mydata = data.frame(x=rnorm(4), y=runif(4), tauvar=c(0,0,1,1),sigmavar=c(2,2,3,3))

ggplot(mydata) + 
   geom_point(aes(x=x, y=y)) +
   facet_grid(sigmavar ~ tauvar,labeller = label_bquote(sigma==.(sigmavar),
                                                   tau==.(tauvar)))
