I think your problem is with plotting, not with naming.
Tell the list what kind of plot you're doing (with example code, of course) and where you need to see names on the plot.

(What do you have in mind when you say names for the "whole" matrix? There are row names, and column names, and that's about it.)

Hi all...

I built a matrix binding vectors with rbind, and have something like this:

        [,1]     [,2]    [,3]     [,4]     [,5]     [,6]      [,7]     [,8]
CLS 3.877328 4.087636 4.72089 4.038361 3.402942 2.786285  2.671222 3.276419
ORD      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN 5.770780 5.901113 11.888054 7.934823
FAM      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN 3.699455  4.551196 2.885390
GEN      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN 3.967411  4.390296 2.885390
SPP      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN      NaN       NaN 2.885390

Then I tried to assign names to each column with names(), but end up with
the following:

 names(tester) <-
c("uno","dos","tres","cuatro","cinco","seis","siete","ocho")

        [,1]     [,2]    [,3]     [,4]     [,5]     [,6]      [,7]     [,8]
CLS 3.877328 4.087636 4.72089 4.038361 3.402942 2.786285  2.671222 3.276419
ORD      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN 5.770780 5.901113 11.888054 7.934823
FAM      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN 3.699455  4.551196 2.885390
GEN      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN 3.967411  4.390296 2.885390
SPP      NaN      NaN     NaN      NaN      NaN      NaN       NaN 2.885390
attr(,"names")
 [1] "uno"    "dos"    "tres"   "cuatro" "cinco"  "seis"   "siete"  "ocho"
 [9] NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA
[17] NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA
[25] NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA
[33] NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA       NA

I can use colnames(tester), but then I cannot identify the colnames on the
points when I plot them.

How can I set the names(tester) for the whole matrix?

Thanks a lot.
