Ben, This example of pgfSweave looks like it would address my problem. I installed this package, but I cannot determine how to use it to make R convert LaTeX commands into mathematical symbols on an R plot. The documentation does not seem to address this. I tried to mimic the example from Yihui Xie that you provided but R only puts the LaTeX code on my plot without converting it. That is, if in the R GUI I have:
> library(pgfSweave) > plot(1:10, 1:10, "$Y=\\beta_0 + \\beta_1 x + \\epsilon$") then in the plot the y-axis label is $Y=\beta_0 + \beta_1 x + \epsilon$ rather than what I want. I can't find any useful help on Google. Any further suggestions? Thanks.
