complex expression with plotmath

Hello everyone,
I want to define a function that receives the name of two variables
(may include Greek letters and subscripts) and uses them into the
title of a plot.
My best attempt is the following:
myplot <- function(var1, var2) {
v=paste(var1,"==1 & ",var2,"==2");
plot(1:10, main=parse(,,v))
}
But when I call it with something like myplot("Q[i]", "Delta[j]") I
get "&(Q_i=1,Delta_j=2)" as title when I want to get "Q_i=1 &
Delta_j=2".
Is there any solution within R? (I don't want to use psfrag and Latex
to post-process the plot)
Why R does not have support for full Latex expressions? (as Matlab
f.ex.). IMHO plotmath is not good enough.
Try this: myplot <- function(var1, var2) plot(1:10, main = bquote(.(var1) == 1 ~ "&" ~ .(var2) == 2)) myplot(quote(Q[i]), quote(Delta[j]))
