How can I use bold, italic and underline in a graphic title or axis in ggplot2?

You can make text bold or italic by setting the face of the text element. I do not know how to make an underline but I'll come back with the answer if I find it.

ggplot(DF, aes(X,Y)) + geom_point()+labs(title="The Title") +
  theme(plot.title=element_text(face="italic"))

ggplot(DF, aes(X,Y)) + geom_point()+labs(title="The Title") +
  theme(plot.title=element_text(face="bold"))

Her is a way to underline. Notice the use of ~ to make spaces within expression().

ggplot(DF, aes(X,Y)) + geom_point() + labs(title = expression(underline(The~Title)))
