This'll work. theta <- 2.1
plot(NA, xlim=c(0,1), ylim=c(0,1), xlab=bquote(theta == .(theta)), ylab=bquote(theta == .(theta)), main=bquote(paste("Results for ",theta == .(theta)))) Charles Annis, P.E.

I've tried a lot of things: theta <- 2.1 plot(1:10, main=expression(paste("Results for", theta, "=", eval(theta)))) or using bquote plot(1:10, main=paste("Results for ", bquote(theta == .(theta)))) or using substitute, etc. I could not make it work. This should be easy. I would appreciate your help.
