David,

I haven't found any FAQs for ggplot.
Do you mean the http://cran.r-project.org/faqs.html?
In this one, no subject seems to be linked with my problem about qplot 
in a loop.
Best regards,

Pierre-Olivier

Pierre,

You did not look hard enough. You need FAQ 7.22 http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Why-do-lattice_002ftrellis-graphics-not-work_003f

Best regards,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

The corrected code:

library(ggplot2)
for (i in 1:2) {
   png(file=paste('test ',i,'.png',sep=''))
   print(qplot(carat, data=diamonds, fill=color,geom='histogram')+scale_y_continuous(i))
   dev.off()
}

Thanks

Dear Pierre,

A more elegant solution is to use ggsave()

library(ggplot2)
for (i in 1:2) {
	p <- 
		qplot(carat, data=diamonds, fill=color,geom='histogram')+scale_y_continuous(i)
	ggsave(filename = paste('test ',i,'.png',sep=''), plot = p)
}

Best regards,

Thierry
