Here is a simplified example: dat <- data.frame(x=1:4, y1=runif(4), y2=runif(4), y3=4:1)
for (icol in 2:4) plot(dat[,1] , dat[,icol] ) (not tested, so hopefully all my parentheses are balanced, no typos, etc.) This shows the basic principle. An alternative is to construct each column name as a text string within the loop, and use that in the plot() call. -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 Lab cell 925-724-7509 On 5/20/18, 4:05 PM, "R-help on behalf of STEVEN MANCINI" <r-help-boun...@r-project.org on behalf of manci...@mcmaster.ca> wrote: Hello, I am trying to create multiple scatter plot graphs. I have 1 independent variable (Age - weeks post conception) and 18 dependent variables ("Gene n" Expression) in one csv file. Is there a way to set up a looped function to produce 18 individual scatterplots? At the moment, I am writing the plot() function out 18 times to make the 18 graphs. My code is below and csv file is attached. *Code* wd <- setwd("~/Dropbox/Steve/SM Research Projects/Allen Brain Bank Project/Allen Brain Bank Inflammatory Markers Project Matlab:R/Other/2018 Tests") list.files(wd) mydata <- read.csv("Glutamate.Genes.V1.csv") mydata plot(mydata$Age..weeks.post.conception., mydata$GluA1..GRIA1..Expression) plot(mydata$Age..weeks.post.conception., mydata$GluA2..GluR2.GRIA2..Expression), etc Thank you for your time and help.
