I would like to incorporate multiple summary plots from the rms package into a single device and to control the titles, and also to open a new device when I reach a specified number of plots. Currently I am only getting a single "plot(summary(" graph in the upper left- hand corner of each successive device. However, in the rms documention I see instances of a loop being used with "par(mfrow(" for multiple plots in a single device(e.g. residuals.lrm), and these examples work on my system. Please advise regarding options that must be specified to "plot(summary(", or in the construction of my loop. Below are sample code and my sessionInfo(). Please note that I am using data.table to facilitate my "real analysis", but I can replicate the issue with tData as a data.frame (using seg <- subset(tData, groups == segment) logic), but I included the data.table logic in case it may be having some influence. Thank you!
Mike tData <- data.frame(groups=as.factor(1:8), low=as.factor(1:4) ,high=as.factor(seq(100, 400, 100)), rand=runif(400)) tData <- data.table(tData) setkeyv(tData, 'groups') dd <- datadist(tData) options(datadist = 'dd') doSumPlot <- function(segment){ seg <<- tData[groups == segment,] plot(summary(rand ~ + low + high ,data = seg ), main=paste('Group:', segment)) } for(i in 1:length(levels(tData$groups))){ cat('Group: ', i, '\n') if(i == 1 ){ dev.new() par(mfrow=c(2,2)) } if(i/5 == round(i/5, 0)){ dev.new() par(mfrow=c(2,2)) } # dev.new() doSumPlot(levels(tData$groups)[i]) } > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30) Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] splines stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base other attached packages: [1] rms_3.5-0 Hmisc_3.9-3 survival_2.36-14 data.table_1.8.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] cluster_1.14.2 grid_2.15.0 lattice_0.20-6 tools_2.15.0 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
