How can I use the variable name in the WORK PLACE inside a function?

Question

Doheon Lee 2012-10-13

Maybe be my question is a bit ambiguous. I want to use one of variable names in the workplace inside a function.

For example, if I typed RandomNumber=rand(1:4) in the command window, and then a function called 'myplot' was created as below.

function myplot(x);

plot(x); title (x)

end

Then if I type myplot(RandomNumber) in the command window, the plot has a title consisted of numbers (but not the title 'RandomNumber').

How can I use any name inputs to x as a title of plots?

Thank you in advance.
