The index in your AxesLabel has to be global, since it can't be a local variable peculiar to Table, which after all (I think) has a different internal name each time the Table is executed. SetOptions[Plot, AxesLabel :> {"X", y[[k]]}]; y = {"Y1", "Y2"}; Show[GraphicsArray[Table[k = i; Plot[Sin[x], {x, -1, 1}], {i, 2}]]] Bobby On Sat, 16 Jun 2007 03:00:24 -0500, zac <replicatorzed at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Group, > > evaluate code to see error message: > > SetOptions[Plot, AxesLabel :> {"X", y[[i]]}]; > > y = {"Y1", "Y2"}; > > Show[ > GraphicsArray[ > Table[ > Plot[Sin[x], {x, -1, 1}] > , {i, 2}] > ] > ]; > > The problem is Show does not know what iterator 'i' means.
