[R] How to use curve() function without using x as the variable name inside expression?

[William Dunlap]

Does
   help(curve)
talk about its 'xname' argument?

Try
   curve(10*foofoo, from=0, to=17, xname="foofoo")

You will have to modify your function, since curve() will
call it once with a long vector for the independent variable
and func(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), mu=seq(0,5,len=501)) won't
work right.
