dear members,
I am a day trader based in INDIA. I use R for my
research.
I have about 200 vectors whose histograms I need to inspect. I have to compare
them simultaneously.
I know methods whereby you can plot multiple histograms on one screen. However,
you can clearly view only 4 to 5 histograms in one screen.
Is there a way to construct a long list of all the 100 histograms that can be
scrollable (like you scroll up or down the R console) both downwards and
upwards? Any package to that effect?
I would be highly grateful, also, if you can offer any suggestions or "out
of the box" ideas to simultaneously compare all the 100 histograms.
very many thanks for your help and support..
yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Another alternative is to use ggplot2 to create the various plots, then put them into a list and use cowplot::plot_grid to plot the grid of plots with a specified number of rows and columns. Here's some pseudo code to give you the general idea Step 1: generate the plots and put them into a list for ( i in 1:(nrow*ncol) ) pL[[ i ]] <- ggplot( ... ) Step 2: display the plots in a grid print( cowplot::plot_grid( plotlist=pL, nrow=nrow, ncol=ncol ) ) On Tue, Jan 22, 2019 at 3:49 PM PIKAL Petr <petr.pikal at precheza.cz> wrote:> Hi > > what about to create all histograms in pdf device? > > see > ?pdf > > Cheers > Petr > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: R-help <r-help-bounces at r-project.org> On Behalf Of akshay kulkarni > > Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2019 2:21 PM > > To: R help Mailing list <r-help at r-project.org> > > Subject: [R] large number of scrollable histograms.... > > > > dear members, > > I am a day trader based in INDIA.

Boxplots for instance need less space (and if you sort the input data by median, say, they often help much better to see differences between samples); or use similar plots such as quartile plots (e.g. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/NMOF/vignettes/qTableEx.pdf ). kind regards Enrico -- Enrico Schumann Lucerne, Switzerland http://enricoschumann.net
You can use knitr (child documents) with rmarkdown to generate an html file containing many htmlwidgets. There are many htmlwidgets you can choose from, see [1]. You can also use htmlwidgets with shiny if you prefer, though I don't know if you can get the many plots simultaneously with shiny. Some htmlwidgets even support linkage between the plots, so if you scroll or zoom through the x-axis on one, the others can adjust similarly.

dear pikal,
Thanks for the suggestion....
I have checked ?pdf. The syntax is:
> pdf("sample.pdf", 7, 5)
> hist(vector1)
> dev.off()
So, I surmise that instead of one hist function in the second line, if I include
multiple histograms through a loop, it would write ALL histograms to sample.pdf
(something like this):
> pdf("sample.pdf", 7, 5)
> histlist
> dev.off()
> histlist <- function(){ for( i in 1:length(L)){histlist[[i]] <-
hist(L[[i]]}; return(histlist)}
Am I right? Would this pdf document(sample.pdf) be scrollable?
very many thanks for your time....
yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
