My apologies for asking what is doubtless a dumb question, but I have scant experience in R.
It would be very convenient in doing lots of plots to be able to do them in a loop that stepped through a vector of variable names. For example one could say
x<-("mydates") y<-c("foo1","foo2","foo3") #where "foon" were vectors plot(x,y[1],type="n") points(x,y[1]) points(x,y[2],pch=2) points(x,y[3],pch=3)
This is pretty easy in Perl, but of course Perl is not for plotting. Of course one could construct a data structure in R that would hold what was wanted and maybe that is the way to go. But I thought I would ask, if you have the patience to get this far with what is, I suspect, a silly question from a novice.
Thanks.
