This won't work:
names <- c(x1^2, x2^2)
Error: Object "x1" not found
1. You can set "x1^2" in quotes, to make this assignment work.
2. It is a bad idea to call the vector "names", because it's already a
function.
What you could better do is:
my.names <- expression(x[1]^2, x[2]^2)
dotplot(1:2, labels = my.names)
