Second I want to make such a chart per Location or Station as called in the data set and third such a chart per Sa.Code Gr, Marcella 2012/11/15 Berend Hasselman <b...@xs4all.nl> > > On 15-11-2012, at 11:14, Gaj Stan (BIGCAT) wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > I have the following problem: > > > > 1) A list was defined as 'a' > > > > a <- list("var1"=c(100:1), "var2"=c(1:100), "var3"=rnorm(100)) > > > > 2) a function 'foo' was defined that extracts the variable name assigned > to x using the deparse(substitute()) functionality.
