I would be honored to have a graph in your fine display.  Do you want
me to submit it formally by emailing you as described here:
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=graph_gallery:graph_gallery

I'm still campaigning to add this to ?plotmath because it is a tricky
problem to combine several variable values and plotmath into a single
expression.

Consider the graph gallery 2d normal model

http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=42

When I saw the subtitle, I thought "Oh, they found a good fix".  But no!

The values are "hardcoded".

mtext(expression(list(mu[1]==0,mu[2]==0,sigma[11]==10,sigma[22]==10,sigma[12]==15,rho==0.5)),
side=3)

There should be substitute or bquote there to get the values of the
mu's and sigma's that are defined above.

I think I will register on your wiki and post a fix on that one, while
I'm at it.
