Re: How to put parameter list in or near a graph?

I should have included the following in my earlier posting:

There is a problem with ordering; you will find that in the following "a = "
a is treated as a product and gives 2 a = .

    a=2;b=4;

    Plot[x,{x,0,1},
      PlotLabel->"a = " a];

This can be dealt with in several ways, for example

Plot[x,{x,0,1},
  PlotLabel->SequenceForm["a = ",a]];

Plot[x,{x,0,1},
  PlotLabel->StringForm["a = ``",a]];

Plot[x,{x,0,1},
  PlotLabel->"a = "<>ToString[a]];

This is only a starter, please consult the book for more to do with
determining the appearence of the text.
