I've tried several things but I don't manage to get this plot right. Any
help greatly appreciated!
I'm running a for loop to produce 4 plots at once. Each plot should only
show data points for a specific group (i.e. 4 plots for groups 1 to 4).
The coordinates of the points should be petal length and width. The
colour of these points should codify the species variable. Finally I'd
like to show a legend for the colours on these plots. It's important
that each species has a unique colour. Thanks you a lot for your input!
# Data
dd <- iris
dd$group <- ifelse(dd$Sepal.Length>=4.3 & dd$Sepal.Length<5.2, 1,
ifelse(dd$Sepal.Length>=5.2 &
dd$Sepal.Length<6.1, 2,
ifelse(dd$Sepal.Length>=6.1 &
dd$Sepal.Length<7, 3,
ifelse(dd$Sepal.Length>=7, 4, NA))))
dd$group <- as.integer(dd$group)
dd$Species <- c(rep("Wild", 12), rep("Pinky", 12), rep("Orangy",
12), rep("Smelly", 12),
rep("Pretty", 12), rep("Blue", 12), rep("Big", 12),
rep("Rare", 12),
rep("Toxic", 12), rep("Danger", 12),
rep("Abundant", 18), rep("Last", 12))
# Code to plot 4 graphs. It doesn't work!
pdf("plot_test.pdf", width=10, height=10)
par(mfrow=c(2, 2))
for(b in unique(dd$group)){
idx <- dd$group==b
plot(dd$Petal.Length, dd$Petal.Width, ty="n",
xlim=range(dd$Petal.Length), ylim=range(dd$Petal.Width))
cols <- as.numeric(unique(dd$Species))
points(dd$Petal.Length[idx], dd$Petal.Width[idx],
col=cols[as.numeric(dd$Species[idx])])
legend("right", legend=unique(dd$Species[idx]), pch=1,
col=cols[as.numeric(unique(dd$Species[idx]))])
}
dev.off()
