Dear list-members, I wonder if there is a way of creating a scatter plot table/grid with different variables on the y-axis compared to the x-axis? Something like this: A*** B*** C*** -XYZ I know that you can create scatter plot matrix with the same variables on the y-axis as on the x-axis, like this: A***** *B**** **C*** ***X** ****Y* *****Z But this is not what I want. I basically want to get a visual representation of different dependent variables (y-axis) on various independent variables (x-axis). So I want it to look like a scatter plot matrix or grid, but with my own specified variables on each axis. Secondly, to add to this, can I add a correlation line (linear and quadratic) through all scatter plots with both correlation and R2 values? All help appreciated.

Several ways but I find that grid.arrange in the gridExtra package combined
with ggplot2 to draw the actual graphs works nicely.
You might also want to look mfcol or mfrow in ?par
### quick and dirty example of ggplot2/gridExtra
library(ggplot2)
library(gridExtra)
mdat <- data.frame(a= 1:5, b=1:5)
ndat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(20), y = rnorm(20))
p <- ggplot(mdat , aes(a,b, colour = 'red' )) + geom_point() +
theme(legend.position="none")
p
q <- ggplot(ndat , aes( x, y )) + geom_line()
q
grid.arrange(p, q)
###
I imagine that you will need to install the ggplot2 and gridExtra packages. See
?install.packages for help

The pairs2 function in the TeachingDemos package does what you describe. You give it 2 matricies instead of just one and it creates the plots.
