Hi,

The easiest way to get the wide curly braces in your plot might be the
tikzDevice package. In its vignette you'll find an example of placing
an arbitrary tikz element in a plot, featuring a curly bracket. Sadly,
the internal coordinate system used by ggplot2 might make the
positioning a little difficult than with base or lattice graphics.

HTH,

baptiste
