Thanks for the hint with the "dimnames". I found a rather similar problem in the mailing list solved like this:

x <- matrix(1:4,2)
y <- matrix(5:8,2)

z <- list(x,y)
nm <- c("a","b")
nms <- list(nm,nm)

z <- lapply(z,function(x){
    dimnames(x)<-nms
    x
})

Is there anything wrong using a list instead of an array???

Hi,

If all your matrices have the same size, you should work with an array and not with a list. Then you can use dimnames to set the names of the rows, columns, and so on..

Hello,

I have another stupid question. I hope you can give me a hint how to solve this:

I have a list and one element is again a list containing matrices, all of the same dimensions. Now, I'd like to set the dimnames for all matrices:

example code:

m1 <- matrix(1:25, nrow=5)
m2 <- matrix(26:50, nrow=5)
# ... there can be much more than two matrices

l <- list()
l[[1]] <- list(m1,m2)

r_names <- LETTERS[1:5]
c_names <- LETTERS[6:10]

? how can I apply these names to any number of matrices within this list-list ?

Ciao,
Antje
