Hi Allan,

look at ?paste, e.g.,

a <- 10
plot(1:10, 1:10, main=paste("The value of a is", a))

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

hi all


i have a simple question:

lets assume that i can enter a variable (a) equal to some value, say
100. obviously a could be any value. i would like to create a plot with
a main heading as
hi all



"some writing" + a

how would own create a string by combining a string with a numeric
variable?

hope the question is not too confusing.

e.g. say a=5 then i want something like plot(x, main="some writing"+a)

this obviously does not work since the syntax is incorrect.

thankful for your replies.
