R help - Nov 2004 - Multiple stripcharts using "for loop"

Hi
I'm able to create multiple plots from a dataset using a "for
loop" to
change variables, but when I try with stripchart it doesn't work.

Standard boxplot:
for(i in 2:14){boxplot(klk[,i]~Group,main=colnames(klk)[i])

Stripchart:
for(i in 2:14){stripchart(klk[,i]~Group,main=colnames(klk)[i])

gives:Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : 
        need finite xlim values
In addition: Warning messages: 
1: no finite arguments to min; returning Inf 
2: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf 
3: no finite arguments to min; returning Inf 
4: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf 


Does anyone know how to do this properly?

Thanks in advance

Paul

Hallo

I can not reproduce your result with artificial data (R2.0.0). Error 
says that some of your data have infinite values somewhere. Try to 
figure out in which cycle it gives this error and inspect your data 
from this cycle. I suppose you have all of them missing, but I 
wonder why boxplot workes and stripchart does not. Usually both 
gives me the same error message in that case.

I did not help much but the problem is probably in your data.

BTW, which version? what platform?

Sorry, I didn't post my system details:
SuSE Linux 9.1
R version 2.0.0
P4 Laptop, 512MB RAM

THanks for the reply. I'll see what I can do with the data.
