What exactly was "clipping". You earlier complained about "jaggies". There was 
no restriction of the plotted lines to the plot area in the example you earlier 
presented. That's what I understand "clipping" to mean.

There's not much context for this. If you are bothered that that you need "=" 
inside paste and `==` outside, then you just need to spend more time 
understanding expression syntax.  I have found that plotmath's `paste` usually 
ends up obscuring a proper understanding of expression syntax. Would be 
annotators reach for plotmath-`paste` because they missed the part about using 
"*" and "~" to separate tokens.... Oh wait ... now I remember there isn't 
really any section in the ?plotmath page that actually says that, is there? 
(Sorry, Not my area of responsibility. Took me years to learn this.)

Your other complaint about plotmath not supporting line-breaks is a recognized 
problem. Multi-element expression vectors are one strategy to consider.  You 
should also look at the grid.text function if you are working in the 
ggplot2-world and want fine-tuned control. You are already building a 
grid-based structure. (And to your whine that ggplot2 is not in base-R, 
consider that the grid package is.) Bert Gunter's suggestion that you purchase 
Murrell's "R Graphics" should be remembered. It is essentially the assembly 
language in which ggplot2 is written.

Learn to use bquote ... You had:

rsquaredlm = NULL
rsquaredlm[[6]] <- 3 ## false value
listr2 <- list(r2 = rsquaredlm[[6]])
eq1 <- substitute(italic(R)^2 == r2, listr2)
eqstr1 <- as.character(as.expression(eq1))
q3 <- p2 +  annotate(geom = "text", x = 20, y = 30, label = eqstr1,
parse = TRUE, vjust = 1)

The results from `bquote` appear to be handled properly within ggplot2-code. 
(Lattice functions do not like `bquote` for its expressions, since they are not 
actually in expression mode.)

rsquaredlm = NULL
rsquaredlm[[6]] <- 3 
 eq1 <- bquote(italic(R)^2 == .(rsquaredlm[[6]]))  # the value will be 
substituted in the plot
 eqstr1 <- as.character(as.expression(eq1))
q3 <- p2 +  annotate(geom = "text", x = 20, y = 30, label = eqstr1,
parse = TRUE, vjust = 1)
