You are overriding "b" at each loop iteration and consequently only keeping the last one.
Perhaps b <- list() for(i in sort(unique(OT1$month))){ a<-OT1[OT1$month==i,] b[[i]]<-ppp(a$longitude,a$latitude,marks=a$fTSUM,window=newW) plot(b[[i]],main=i) } Generally it's bad practice to have a dynamically growing object in R but I think the performance penalty for lists isn't too bad. (Not verified, I just think I saw that somewhere) What might be even better: months <- sort(unique(OT1$month)) b <- vector("list", length(months)) names(b) <- months for(i in months){ a<-OT1[OT1$month==i,] b[[i]]<-ppp(a$longitude,a$latitude,marks=a$fTSUM,window=newW) plot(b[[i]],main=i) } Michael On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Aurelie Cosandey Godin <god...@dal.ca> wrote: > Dear all, > > I'm trying to create a list of point patterns ppp.object {spatstat} in a loop. > My dataset looks like this: > > > names(OT1);head(OT1);dim(OT1) > [1] "EID" "latitude" "longitude" "month" "year" "CPUE" > "TSUM" > [8] "fTSUM" > EID latitude longitude month year CPUE TSUM fTSUM > 1 167-1-1996-1135 67.70000 -61.81667 9 1996 0 0 F > 2 167-10-1996-1135 67.71667 -59.18333 9 1996 0 0 F > 3 167-100-1996-1135 67.86667 -59.43333 10 1996 0 0 F > 4 167-101-1996-1135 67.95000 -59.58333 10 1996 0 0 F > 5 167-102-1996-1135 68.10000 -59.76667 10 1996 0 0 F > 6 167-103-1996-1135 67.81667 -59.38333 10 1996 0 0 F > [1] 2707 8 > > What I would like to do is to select data for each of my month and create a > ppp.object. > > > sort(unique(OT1$month)) > [1] 7 8 9 10 11 12 > > The following loop works and I can see each of my figures: > > for(i in sort(unique(OT1$month))){ > a<-OT1[OT1$month==i,] > b<-ppp(a$longitude,a$latitude,marks=a$fTSUM,window=newW) > plot(b,main=i) > } > > How can I access each of my ppp.objects?
