Plotting Histogram using histogram() and for loop and Iwant to save the histogram individually ... HELP
Hi again, do you know how can I use the main function to change the title for eac h histogram. i.e that first graph show have a title "Index 1" but because the variable name column starts the 8th the title shows up as "Index 8" , i have tried use main = colnames(data)[i-1] but it result errors....

png(paste("hist", i, ".png", sep = ""))
print(plots[[i]])
dev.off()

HTH
Colin.
Incidentally,
You put what you want to export between png(..) and dev.off()
If you supply the data explicitly it doesn't make any sense to pass the
data through the data argument.
No need for paste(x) if is x is already a character vector.

I know how you feel,
I came a cross the same problem once, which took sometime to find a
solution
for.
What you need to do is put the hist into a variable and then plot it,
for
example:
library(lattice)
for(i in 8:153){
hist.to.plot <- histogram(~ data[,i] | data[,2],
data=data,,ylab="Frequency",xlim=c(1,5),xlab="Score",ylim=c(0,100)),main
=paste(colnames(data)[i],sep="")
plot(hist.to.plot)
}
Cheers,
Tal

And I also want to save each histogram in each separate pdf file
using
the
following codes ?.
png("hist.png[i]")
dev.off()
Try png(paste("hist",i,".png",sep="") instead.
