I have searched the archives and instructions high and low but have not
found what I need.

I have a dataframe named Data with columns:
AdjResND0 - the numeric result
Parameter - the classification (chemical name)
Sort - the order I want the chemical names to appear, with leading zeros
so all are the same length
Client.Name - the sample name

I am trying to generate a series of 1 page barcharts, one for each
sample. The dataframe has been sorted by Client.name and sort
 I use the following command:

barchart(AdjResND0 ~ Parameter | Client.Name , Data,
   box.ratio = 0.8, ylab= ("Concentration (mg/kg)"),
   layout = c(0,1), scales = list(x="free",rot=90,cex = 0.5,
   axs = "i",abbreviate = TRUE ) )

The parameters are listed alphabetic order from left to right in the bar
chart so I constructed a new variable
Label which is the sort and parameter variables concatenated together.

barchart(AdjResND0 ~ Label | Client.Name , Data,
   box.ratio = 0.8, ylab= ("Concentration (mg/kg)"),
   layout = c(0,1), scales = list(x="free",rot=90,cex = 0.5,
   axs = "i",abbreviate = TRUE ) )

This has everything in the correct order but obviously I don't want the
column labels to have the sort order glued on the front. Any way to get
the order I want and the labels I want?

I am using :
R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Version 2.0.1  (2004-11-15), ISBN 3-900051-07-0

Under Windows XP

Also, I am as yet unable to figure out how to get R to spool the graphs
to a pdf file so I get all 30 graphs and I can save them for an
appendix. I just want to be able to save all the graphs for future use,
so I am not set on pdf or anything else. An example would be great! 



Thanks,

Mike
