[R] lapply, plot and additional arguments

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

maybe something like this could help:

x <- data.frame(a = 1:9, beta = exp(-4:4),
    logic = rep(c(TRUE, FALSE), c(5, 4)))
x.l <- split(x, x$logic)

plot(x$a, x$beta)
mapply(function(x, y) lines(x$a, x$b, col = y), x.l, 1:2)


Best,
Dimitris
