\title{Labels for distribution objects}
\description{
a help function to get reasonable labels for distribution objects}
\usage{
getLabel(x, withnames = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{ a distribution object}
\item{withnames}{ logical: are the parameters (if any) of \code{x} to be
displayed with names? }
}

\section{Remark}{The need for this helper function (external to our
\code{plot} methods) was brought to our attention in a mail
by Kouros Owzar \email{owzar001@mc.duke.edu}.}

\examples{
## example due to Kouros Owzar:
foo<- function(law,n, withnames = TRUE)
{
data.frame(muhat=mean(r(law)(n)),n=n,law= getLabel(law,withnames))
}
### a function that groups certain informations on
## created with distribution objects
do.call("rbind",lapply(list(Exp(1),Norm(0,1),Weibull(1,1)),foo,n=100))
do.call("rbind",lapply(list(Exp(1),Norm(0,1),Weibull(1,1)),foo,n=100,FALSE))
