[R] "labels" attached to variable names

[Denis Chabot]

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
