Greetings, I am trying to write multiple .emf graphs to individual files.
Our data is from agricultural laboratories where individual soil samples are tested for various plant nutrients, for example, ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, and zinc. Basically, there are three important columns: the laboratory performing the tests, the type of test for each soil sample, and the results Lab_ID Anlysis_Soil Results 55001 AmmonumN_Soil1 5.3 55002 AmmoniumN_Soil2 5.4 55003 AmmoniumN_Soil3 8.8 55004 AmmoniumN_Soil4 6.9 55001 Phosphorus_ Soil1 15.3 55002 Phosphorus_ Soil2 25.8 55003 Phosphorus_ Soil3 37.8 55004 Phosphorus_ Soil4 46.9 55001 Zinc_ Soil1 1.3 55002 Zinc_ Soil2 1.4 55003 Zinc_ Soil3 1.8 55004 Zinc_ Soil4 1.9 Here is the introductory code: #Set the working directory setwd("C:\\Documents and Settings\\jfloren\\My Documents\\TestRSoil") napt <- read.table(file = "./readin_all_for_2010_cert.csv ", header = TRUE, sep = ",") attach(napt) ## Set up the subset for statistics and graphs -- "myV" cycles through Nitrogen_Soil1 to Zinc_Soil4. ## myVars <- levels(Anlysis_Soil) for (myV in myVars) { rsubset <- subset(napt, Anlysis_Soil %in% myV) if (nrow(rsubset) > 8) { ########### These are the start of the statistical results for each subset ########### with more than 8 labs submitting results ####### attach(rsubset) count = length(Results) amed = median(Results) aMAD = mad(Results, constant ### Many more statistical results and a table is written. Then generate the graphs ### ## INSERT FOR GRAPHS NEW MATERIAL #Use "par(mfrow= 3,1) " to set up a report with 3 graphs in one columns (3 X 1 matrix) par(mfrow=c(3,1)) plot(Results,main=myV) # The following give lines at plus or minus 3 MAD units and + or – 15% from median abline(h=amed, lty="dashed") abline(h=m2aMAD) abline(h=p2aMAD) abline(h=m4aMAD, lty ="dotted") abline(h=p4aMAD, lty ="dotted") hist(Results) boxplot(Results, horizontal=TRUE) ### I see the graphs generated on the R GUI screen, but how do I get them into individual .emf files? ### I think I need something like the following, but how do I substitute "myV" instead of "Graphs.emf" into the file name? dev.copy(win.metafile, file = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\jfloren\\My Documents\\TestRSoil\\Graphs.emf", width = 7, height = 10, pointsize = 12) dev.off() Thanks, Jerry Floren Minnesota Department of Agriculture -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Writing-Graphs-to-Files-tp1311709p1311709.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
