Obviously I have been trying to use the colnames() function!

However, when I try to subscript ie:

for(i in 1:20){
main=paste("Site:",colnames(i),sep="")
}

this doesn't work! I thought that as.character(colnames(i)) or
substitute(colnames(i)) might work, but to no avail...


Laura,

You should (re)read ?colnames. It takes a matrix as it's argument, not an integer as you have supplied.

I think you want:

for(i in 1:20){
  main=paste("Site:",colnames(mat)[i],sep="")
}

Hi,

Just a quick query - if I'm creating a function to produce a number of
histograms per page of output (one per column from a matrix), how can I
pass the column name of the matrix into the title (or indeed to form part
of the x-axis label)?


By extracting them using colnames()?
