ggplot2 - annotate text with superscript

Question

I want to add an R^2 value to my plot. I passed the label to geom_text() as follows;

 geom_text(aes(x,y,label=caption),parse=T,
        data.frame(x=-2,y=80,caption=("R^2=0.43"))))

but it plots as =(R^2,0.43). Any ideas?

How do I add a separate line after the R^2=0.43, e.g. p=0.763? — jslefche

You want your caption to be "R^2==0.43". Look at the help page for plotmath. There it shows that == gives you equals.

EDIT:

To answer the comment after the question, you can use atop in the expression. "atop(R^2==0.43,p==0.763)" This works for two lines, but not more.
