Objet: [R] "labels" attached to variable names


Hi,

Can we attach a more descriptive "label" (I may use the wrong 
terminology, which would explain why I found nothing on the FAQ) to 
variable names, and later have an easy way to switch to these labels 
in plots? I fear this is not possible and one must enter this by hand 
as ylab and xlab when making plots.

Thanks in advance,

Denis Chabot
