Hi, I am new to R. I have a matrix that I have assigned to the object “colon”.
> colon<-read.table("c:\\alon.txt",header=T,row.names=1) attach(colon) names(colon) The dimenstions are 2000 62. Each of the 62 columns (titled norm1, norm2, norm3, etc) has 2000 different numbers (‘continuous’ values) within it. I have also assigned a name for each of the 2000 rows of the dataframe with a prefix (i.e. g1 …. g2000) using the code (not sure if I did this right): > colon<-paste("g",c(1:nrow(colon)),sep="") I have plotted the first 20 values from two of the columns(samples). > x<-c(norm1[1:20]) > y<-c(norm2[1:20]) > plot(x,y,type='n',xlab='x norm1 sample',ylab='y norm2 sample',main='Norm1 > vs Norm2 - 20 genes') > points(x,y,pch=15,col='blue') Now I wish to assign labels to each point (above each point (i.e. pos=3) in the plot with “g1 to g20 corresponding to each row but I am having trouble with this step. I have tried: > text(x,y, label = row.names(colon[1:20])) but nothing happens. Any suggestions?
