[R] plot in for loop with "i" indexed variables does not work

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

you need something like this:

par(mfrow = c(5, 5))
for (i in 1:10) {
    nam <- paste("Var.", i, sep = "")
    plot(x = time, y = mat[, nam], xlab = "Time",
        ylab = nam)
}

where `mat' is the matrix containing Var.1, Var.2, Var.3, etc.


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
