I have writtn a function where I pass a variable number of arguments.
I They are vectors and I can manipulate them, but I need to get hold of the
name for a legend.
niceplot<-function(...) {
parms=list(...)
for (x in parms) {
DoSomethingWith(x)
}
}
BUT how how can I get something like namestring(...) of nameofvector(x)?
I use the following syntax to get the name of a data object to use in a
title, label or whatever.
xname <- paste(deparse(substitute(x), 500), collapse = "\n")
This is taken from hist.default so at least has some provenance as an
appropriate method.
