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="")
}
Example (which you should have provided):
# Generate an example-matrix:
X <- matrix(1:9, 3)
colnames(X) <- letters[1:3]
# now try to get histograms of columns using a loop:
par(mfrow = c(3, 1))
cnames <- colnames(X)
for(i in 1:ncol(X)){
hist(X[,i], main = paste("Site:", cnames[i], sep=""))
}

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

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()?

TIA,
