[R] R: x-y data

[John Kane]

There are a couple of ways but I think you need to
read  about R . Have a look at Managing data
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/index.html

and / or read the Intro to R manual available on CRAN
or probably from the R help icon. 

you have a data.frame DF you can assign names to the
variables 

?names
names(DF) <- c("x", "y") and attach the data.frame

?attach

or you can reference the columns

as DF[,1] and DF[,2]
