Hi All, How can i add x,y axes labels, i am using ReadAffy() function. I could not find anything on the searchable mailing list archive. Thanks, Hrishi

Generally speaking, you can use the xlab and ylab argument in most plotting functions including hist(). See help("par") for more info. Example : plot( 1:10, xlab="A nice label for x-axis", ylab="ditto for y-axis" ) hist( rnorm(100), xlab="Intensity values" ) If this does not answer your question, can you provide a simple example to clarify your problem please.

[Please press REPLY ALL next time as this is a discussion list and others may have some other useful information to tell you] Do you mean ReadAffy ( R is case sensitive ) ? raw <- ReadAffy() # reads all the CEL files in the working directory hist(raw, xlab="lala", ylab="tralalalalala") Should do the trick.

Hi All, I want the CEL file names to be displayed, i have truncated file names which were long but still i can't see all the file names on the boxplot(). Here is the script which i have written,i tried attaching postscript files but since they were big, i am not attaching them here. library(affy) library(hgu95av2cdf) library(hgu95av2probe) library(matchprobes) data(hgu95av2probe) summary(hgu95av2probe) getwd() setwd("C:/Program Files/R/rw2001/Normal") Data <- ReadAffy() length(Data) hist(Data) boxplot(Data) > boxplot(Data,xlab=sampleNames) Error in title(main = "", xlab = function (object) : cannot coerce type closure to character vector > hist(Data,xlab=sampleNames) Error in title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, ...) : cannot coerce type closure to character vector Thanks in advance.

Hi Hrishi, Hrishikesh Deshmukh <d_hrishikesh@yahoo.com> writes: >> boxplot(Data,xlab=sampleNames) > Error in title(main = "", xlab = function (object) : > cannot coerce type closure to character vector Just based on the error message, it looks like sampleNames is a function, not a character vector (which is what xlab wants). Try reading help on sampleNames. + seth
