Take a closer look at your R code. Each loop is returning only the
last value, so you're doing the same thing over and over for the last
value from the previous loop.
Write just the code for *one* set of graphs. Look at what needs to
change to do the next set. Write a function that takes those arguments
and makes the graphs. Don't try to cram everything into a whole bunch
of for() loops.
As you've found, that can be very error-prone.
