Hi

In my plot I need to label my y-axis N, but Mathematica recognizes
this as numerical value. How do I turn this off while plotting, so I
can label my axis N?

Also, I need to change the font of the N. But I guess that is easy as
long as the above problem is taken care of (i.e. just use Style)?

Best,
Jim.

Ok, so I use "N", as you have suggested. Now the thing is, I wish to
write something like

N(200,300),

but I do not want "200" and "300" to be italic, only N. I tried

Style["N",Italic] <> "(200,300)",

but apparently Style["N",Italic] is not a string. What can I do here?

Make your label a string by putting quotes around it ie: "N"

Do it as a string "N" instead of N.

Exactly.


Plot[x^2, {x, -3, 3},
AxesLabel -> {Style["Fred", Purple, Italic, 14],
Style["N", Red, Bold, 16]}]

Use a string to specify the label. For example,

Histogram[RandomReal[NormalDistribution[0, 1], 1000],
AxesLabel -> {"\[Sigma]", "N"}]

Yes, Style will do what you need here.
