Hi, Is there any facility in R to use text strings from a different object in a graphical output. For example, I have a simple bargraph but instead of using the row names as the x axis labels I would rather use the text strings from a different object (there are the same amount of text strings in that other object as rows in the matrix used to create the barplot). I have to do this kind of operation in a number of different situations so I'm wondering whether there is an elegant way to make a reference, within my function, to the names in the other object, rather than simply replacing the row names. In essence, I want to be able to tell R to substitute the row names for the test strings in the other object when it constructs the graph. Hope this makes sense, Thanks for any help, Jeremy
