Plotting 4 plots with for-loop

[joe-b]

Hello, I've got a question about a homework if have got.

The task is: Plot the histogram of the reaction times of the four participants as four plots on one canvas.

This is the data we've got:

simrts <- c(rgamma(500,shape=1,scale=0.1)*12,rgamma(500,shape=1,scale=0.175)*17,rgamma(500,shape=1,scale=0.2)*14,rgamma(500,shape=1,scale=0.3)*10)
rtdat <- data.frame(id = rep(c(1,2,3,4),each=500), rt = simrts)

I know i have to use the loop function but i don't understand quite how. Appreciate every help

It looks to me, you may could also use the group_by() and facet_wrap() function with ggplot.

Some approaches

library(tidyverse)
library(patchwork)

car <- mtcars %>% 
  as_tibble(rownames = "car")

head(car, 5)

# approach 1: facet_wrap (or facet_grid)
mtcars %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap(~carb)

# approach 2: patchwork

p1 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 1) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()

p2 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 2) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()

p3 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 3) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()

p4 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 4) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()

p6 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 6) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()

p8 <- mtcars %>% 
  filter(carb == 8) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
  geom_point()


p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 + p6 + p8


# approach 3: patchwork + forloop
n <- unique(mtcars$carb)

for(i in n){
  assign(paste0("p", i),
    mtcars %>% 
    filter(carb == i) %>% 
    ggplot(aes(x = mpg, y = drat)) +
    geom_point()
  )
}
p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 + p6 + p8

Thank you very much, but we should only use the function loop

[joe-b]

Thank you but the prof told us not to use ggplot so I'll keep on trying

Can par(mfrow=c(2,2)) be useful? Quick-R: Combining Plots

What a prof. does this?!
