R help - Oct 2013 - Math notation in a title

Hi,

I'd like to put the following in a main title of a plot.

Can someone show me how to do this?

Thanks.

?plotmath

plot(1, main=expression("Pareto
Distribution:"~alpha==2*","~italic(y)[italic(m)]==3) )

That italic-y is not as "cursive" as your example, but perhaps you can
use a different font. If that is your desire then look at the last examples in
?points. (It always has seemed strange that so much useful stuff about text/font
output is located in the help page for points, but there is a link to that page
near the end ofhte ?plotmath page.)
