Hi, Below are a couple of options using a standard dataset,
str(iris) ## using base graphics d <- split(iris, iris$Species) str(d) # list of 3 data.frames par(mfrow=n2mfrow(length(d))) # split the device in 3 plotting regions b.quiet <- lapply(names(d), function(x) { # loop over the list names with(d[[x]], plot(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length)) title(x) }) library(ggplot2) # using facetting ggplot(iris) + facet_wrap(~Species) + geom_point(aes(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length)) library(lattice) # using facetting xyplot(Petal.Length ~ Sepal.Length | Species, data=iris ) HTH, baptiste On 1 September 2011 08:50, Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > I've tried various commands. ?plot, Teetor's book, "R Cookbook", and > Mittal's book, "R Graphs Cookbook" without seeing how to write the command > to create scatterplots from my data.frame.
