Loop through data frame and variable names

Question

I am looking for a way to automate some diagrams in R using a FOR loop:

dflist <- c(\"dataframe1\", \"dataframe2\", \"dataframe3\", \"dataframe4\")

for (i in         


        

Answer 1

Using the example of @Roland, I wanted to show you the ggplot2 equivalent. First we have to change the datset a bit:

First the original data:

> dflist
[[1]]
           x           y
1  0.9148060 -0.10612452
2  0.9370754  1.51152200
3  0.2861395 -0.09465904
4  0.8304476  2.01842371
5  0.6417455 -0.06271410
6  0.5190959  1.30486965
7  0.7365883  2.28664539
8  0.1346666 -1.38886070
9  0.6569923 -0.27878877
10 0.7050648 -0.13332134

[[2]]
            x          y
1   0.6359504 0.33342721
2  -0.2842529 0.34674825
3  -2.6564554 0.39848541
4  -2.4404669 0.78469278
5   1.3201133 0.03893649
6  -0.3066386 0.74879539
7  -1.7813084 0.67727683
8  -0.1719174 0.17126433
9   1.2146747 0.26108796
10  1.8951935 0.51441293

and put the data into one data.frame, with an id column

require(reshape2)
one_df = melt(dflist, id.vars = c("x","y"))
> one_df
            x           y L1
1   0.9148060 -0.10612452  1
2   0.9370754  1.51152200  1
3   0.2861395 -0.09465904  1
4   0.8304476  2.01842371  1
5   0.6417455 -0.06271410  1
6   0.5190959  1.30486965  1
7   0.7365883  2.28664539  1
8   0.1346666 -1.38886070  1
9   0.6569923 -0.27878877  1
10  0.7050648 -0.13332134  1
11  0.6359504  0.33342721  2
12 -0.2842529  0.34674825  2
13 -2.6564554  0.39848541  2
14 -2.4404669  0.78469278  2
15  1.3201133  0.03893649  2
16 -0.3066386  0.74879539  2
17 -1.7813084  0.67727683  2
18 -0.1719174  0.17126433  2
19  1.2146747  0.26108796  2
20  1.8951935  0.51441293  2

and make the plot:

require(ggplot2)
ggplot(one_df, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~ L1)
