HI Elaine, In the data you sent to me, it had 5 levels for skin_color. data1<-read.csv("skin_color.csv",sep="\t") data1$skin_color<-factor(data1$skin_color) levels(data1$skin_color) #[1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5"
mypath<-file.path("/home/arun/Trial1",paste("Elaine_",1:5,".jpg",sep="")) #change the file.path according to your system for(i in seq_along(mypath)){ jpeg(file=mypath[i]) plot(body_weight~body_length,data=data1[data1$skin_color==i,]) line<-lm(body_weight~body_length,data=data1[data1$skin_color==i,]) abline(line,col=c("yellow","blue","green","orange","red")[i],lwd=2) dev.off() } #or lapply(seq_along(mypath),function(i) {jpeg(file=mypath[i]) line<-lm(body_weight~body_length,data=data1[data1$skin_color==i,]) plot(body_weight~body_length,data=data1[data1$skin_color==i,]) abline(line,col=c("yellow","blue","green","orange","red")[i],lwd=2) dev.off() }) A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Elaine Kuo <elaine.kuo...@gmail.com> To: arun <smartpink...@yahoo.com> Cc: Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 9:48 PM Subject: Re: [R] error in a abline loop Hello arun Thank you always.
