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

?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. The structure is:

'data.frame': ? 14886 obs. of ?4 variables: ?$ site ? ?: Factor w/ 148 levels "BC-0.5","BC-1",..: 104 145 126 115 114 128 124 2 3 3 ... ?$ sampdate: Date, format: "1996-12-27" "1996-08-22" ... ?$ param ? : Factor w/ 8 levels "As","Ca","Cl",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... ?$ quant ? : num ?0.06 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 0.01 ... ?and what I'd like to do is create scatter plots of quant (y-axis) against the factor site (x-axis) for specified param factors. Teetor has an example for a data set with two numeric variables and a single factor. I have a single numeric veriable, two factors, and a date. ?I'll also want to create time series line plots of values as a function of date for specified params. ?If the data.frame had only two columns all the examples work. But, using two columns (the number per site factor for only a specified param factor) is not covered in what I've read so far. ?Other graphing resources about which I should know? Rich
