[R] ggplot2: annotating plot with mathematical formulae

[baptiste auguie]

If you're desperate for a workaround, you might want to try this  
example using pgfSweave,

http://ggplot2.wik.is/Mathematical_annotations

On a similar vein, you could try psfrag replacements with a postscript  
device (there is some code for this on the list archives).

Feel free to comment / edit on the wiki page.
