Hi, Try: mat <- as.matrix(read.csv("R.csv",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE,sep="\t",row.names=1)) pdf("Hist_colwise.pdf") lst1 <- lapply(seq_len(ncol(mat)),function(i) {x<- mat[,i,drop=FALSE]; hist(x, main=paste("Histogram of", colnames(x)))}) dev.off()
##or may be this would be another way to look at the data library(reshape2) library(ggplot2) dat <- melt(mat) pdf("Hist_all.pdf", width=14) ggplot(dat, aes(x=Var2, y=value, fill=Var1))+geom_histogram(stat="identity",position="dodge")+ theme(legend.position = "none")+ xlab("") + theme(axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"), panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), panel.border = element_blank(), panel.background = element_blank()) dev.off() A.K.
