FAQ 7.16 How can I substitute into a plot label?
Often, it is desired to use the value of an R object in a plot label,
e.g., a title. This is easily accomplished using paste() if the label
is a simple character string, but not always obvious in case the label
is an expression (for refined mathematical annotation). In such a
case, either use parse() on your pasted character string or use
substitute() on an expression. For example, if ahat is an estimator of
your parameter a of interest, use
title(substitute(hat(a) == ahat, list(ahat = ahat)))
(note that it is == and not =). There are more worked examples in the
mailing list achives.
