Dear guRus,
I'd like to learn how to make a function recognize the name of an
object/vector given as argument
If I have :
testFun <- function(x,y) plot(x,y, main=paste("plot
of",names(x),"and",names(y)) ) # this just a simple example ...
a1 <- 5:8
b1 <- 9:6
testFun(a1,b1)
# Returns the plot, but not the names of the objects/vectors given as
arguments,
# but since 'names()' refers to the elements INSIDE the object/vector I
don't get what I'm looking for ...
# In fact, I (also) would like to know that actually "a1" and "b1" were
given as arguments to my function.
# As in the example, this could be useful for (sub-)titles of graphs etc...
# Is there a way to get this kind of information ?
#For compleness:
> sessionInfo()
