[R] Plot multiple similar equations in r

[David L Carlson]

Another way would be to use matplot() or matlines():

> lx<-c(0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7)
> x <- seq(1, 8, length.out=100)
> myfun <- function(x, k) {(log(k)-(0.37273*log(x)-1.79389))/0.17941}
> y <- sapply(lx, function(k) myfun(x, k))
> matplot(x, a, type="l", col="black", lty=1)

Or, if you want easy labels, you can play around with contour graphs.

?contour # will give you info on how to make contour plots

The basic idea is to construct a matrix of z-values...one z for every
combination of x and y
contour(x,y,z)

The x's would then be the x-values you want in
(0.37273*log(x)-1.79389))/0.17941 for whatever range of x's you want
The y's would be values from -5 to 5 (or whatever range you want)
The z's would be values like 0.4, 0.5, etc. or exp(y + x)

?outer # will tell you how to create z from x and y

x<-seq(1,10,length=100) # values for x-axis
y<-seq(2, 10, length=100) # values for y-axis
z<-exp(outer((0.37273*log(x)-1.79389)/0.17941,y,"+"))
contour(x,y,z,levels=seq(.1,1.1,by=.1))
