Hi, A fairly basic problem I think, here although searching the inetrnet doesn't seem to reveal a solution. I have a dataset with two columns of real numbers. It is read in via read.table. I simply need to square the data in the second column and then plot it. I have tried extracting the second column (b <- z[2]) and then squaring it and merging it to a variable which is the first column extracted. Firstly thsi seems very convoluted, secondly it gives a seg fault (I'm guessing because memory hasn't been allocated for the second column on the creation of teh first variable).
So any ideas about the easy way of doing the matsh so I can then just use plot(z, .....) as before?
