My apologies, to elaborate I carried out a correlation analysis and I want to plot the data (similar to the graphs available in the corrplot package. However, the results are as follows (I have many more combinations): AB 0.102 AC -0.002 BA -0.102 BC 0.270 CA 0.002 CB -0.270 I now want to create a matrix that uses the names from the first column as a "reference", so in the matrix the first row name will be "A" and the first column name will be "B" with a value of 0.102. I will be using the script available on http://www.phaget4.org/R/image_matrix.html to plot the data The opinions contained in this message are those of the sender only and do not reflect those of Sappi Limited or any of its subsidiary or associated companies.
