[R] equivalent of $\check Y$ in plotmath

[Yihui Xie]

Whenever plotmath is unable to provide what you want, you can always
go to tikzDevice for native LaTeX support:

Here is an example:

library(tikzDevice)
tikz('test-math.tex', standAlone = TRUE)
plot(1, main = '$\\check{Y}$')
dev.off()
system('pdflatex test-math.tex')
