How to plot a series of points on the same graph in for loop












0















I am relatively new to programming. So please bear with me.



    plot(i, ex, xlim=c(0,l), ylim=c(0,15), type="o", 
xlab="Current position", ylab="Current State of charge"


This is the code I formulated for the plot inside a for loop. But the above code produces an animation of the points on the plot and not a continuous segment (i.e.) the previous points on the plot are erased after each iteration.



Can someone please help me form a continuous series of points on a single plot.



Thank you in advance.

You points are "erased" because you are creating a new plot every time you call the plot command. One way around this is to create and empty plot with plot and then add points with the points command inside the loop:



# empty plot
plot(x=NA, y=NA, xlim=c(1,10), ylim=c(1,10), xlab="", ylab="", main="")

# add points
for (i in 1:10) {
points(x=rep(i,i), y=1:i, pch=20)
}
