[R] Plot rows of CSV

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi,

This is not fancy or especially elegant, but....

## so you can see each plot at a time before moving on
par(ask = TRUE)
## apply() the function plot() to each row of the
## rows of mtcars you extracted by name
apply(mtcars[c("Mazda RX4", "Merc 450SLC", "Maserati Bora"), ], 1, plot)

I use as an example the mtcars dataset.  As long as you have your data
in R with row names, something like this should work.  Importantly,
apply() coerces the object it functions on to a matrix, so if you have
character and numeric data, everything will be converted to the
highest level of the hierarchy (see the documentation for ?cbind to
see the hierarchy of data types).

If you need more specific types of plots, be more specific ;)

Cheers,

Josh
