[R] symbol in the plot

[Johannes Graumann]

plot(sigma, delta1, ylim=range(-0.5, 2), xlab='sigma', ylab='delta',pch=22, 
type='o')
points(sigma, delta2, col='red', axes=FALSE, pch=1,type='o')
legend("topleft",c(expression(Delta*1),expression(delta*2)),fill=TRUE,col=c("black","red"),pch=c(1,22))

See:

Still, gimme a easily runnable example next time.
