[R] Again: A problem someone should know about

[David L Carlson]

In your first example you created logfat.lm and then tried to plot logfat so you got an error indicating that logfat did not exist. 

In your second example we have no idea what body.fat. You must make your examples reproducible so that we can reproduce your error. It looks like you could also benefit from spending a little time learning about R using a free tutorial.
