The with() construct gets a little more complicated if you want to do
more than one thing inside:
for(i in levels(fHCGB$code)) with(subset(fHCGB,code==i), {
plot(pooledPlateIntra, type="b", ylim=ylim, xlab=code, ylab="CV%")
points(fHCGB$limitVarC,type="b", col="green")
})
or, since with() is really only needed for the plot()
for(i in levels(fHCGB$code)) {
with(subset(fHCGB,code==i),
plot(pooledPlateIntra, type="b", ylim=ylim, xlab=code, ylab="CV%"))
points(fHCGB$limitVarC,type="b", col="green")
}
(& you might have used lines() rather than points() if you think of it as an added line, but that's a matter of taste since the two functions only differ in the default for type=.)
