[R] Replace number with month

[Don MacQueen]

You can get the names using

   month.name[MM]


And it may be necessary to use

     factor(month.name[MM], levels=month.name[1:12])

to get them to show up in the correct order in the barchart.

Try, for example,

     plot(factor(month.name[1:12], levels=month.name[1:12]) , 12:1)
