Hi,

try this,

plot.new()
x=0.8
text(0.5, 0.5, bquote(rho == .(x)))


HTH,

baptiste

Aha!

That does exactly what i wanted! Thanks!

But does it do what it should? It's customary to use
"rho" for a _population_ correlation coefficient. If your
(x,y) values represent a _sample_, then it would probably
be more appropriate to use the more mundane "r" or
perhaps "rho-hat".
