Rob,
You can add text to a graph using the Text statement. For normal plotting
you have to put it in an Epilog option. You can compose complicated text by
using SequenceForm. Here is an example.
With[
{aa = 2,
bb = Pi/4},
Plot[aa Sin[t + bb], {t, 0, 2 Pi},
PlotRange -> {-1.4, 1.02}aa,
PlotLabel -> HoldForm[a Sin[t + b]],
AxesLabel -> {t, f},
Epilog -> {Text[
SequenceForm["a == ", aa, ", b == ", bb], {0.2, -1.2aa}, {-1,
0}]}]];
Checkout Text, Epilog and SequenceForm in Help. In the above I tried to
automatically position the parameter text. You could also click off its
position from the graph and paste the position in the Text statement.
