While it might be possible, I think it would be better to use an extra argument for this: plot_function(my_vector, title = my_title) Functions should be general, and relying on the name of the variable makes your function less general. What if you in the future want to use plot_function with an anynmous vector created dynamically? e.g by combining two other vectors: plot_function(c(foo, bar)) -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Fingerprint: 1408 C8D5 1E7D 4C9C C27E 014F 7C2C 872A 7050 614E
