Suppose plotx <- "someName" modx <- "otherName" plotxRange <- c(10,20) modxVals <- c(1,2,3)
It often happens I want to create a dataframe or object with plotx or modx as the variable names. But can't understand syntax to do that. I can get this done in 2 steps, creating the data frame and then assigning names, as in newdf <- data.frame( c(1, 2, 3, 4), c(4, 4, 4, 4)) colnames(newdf) <- c(plotx, modx) I was trying to hit this in one step, but can't find how. If I could get this in one step, it would simplify some book keeping, because this current method requires me to build up the name vector to match newdf, and sometimes I make mistakes. After the data.frame already exists, I understand I can insert new variables using the variable names with syntax like newdf[[plotx]] <- c(23, 23, 23, 23) PJ -- Paul E.
