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.

Hi Stephen,

The problem is that the label on the graph doesn't get rendered with a
superscript. I want the label on the graph to be rendered the same way
as the label you have put on the axis.

I am plotting a piecewise function and I wanted to label each section of it.

how about this

a <- 1:10
b <- 1:10
d <- paste("x","^","{n-1}")
qplot(a,b, xlab=expression(x^{n-1}))+geom_text(aes(4,8, label=d))

Hi,

Is there a way of annotating a ggplot plot with mathematical formulae?

I can do

geom_text(aes(label="some text", ...

but I can't do

geom_text(aes(label=expression(x^{n-1}), ...

It gives the error

Error: geom_text requires the following missing aesthetics: label

Is there a convenient equivalent?

Cheers,

Paul
