Or this: Needs["Histograms`"] iterate[outer_, inner_] := Block[{many = {}, few, i, j}, For[j = 1, j <= outer, j++, For[few = {}; i = 1, i <= inner, i++, few = {few, Eigenvalues@RandomReal[{0, 10}, {2, 2}]}]; many = Partition[Flatten@{many, few}, 2]; plots = GraphicsRow@{Histogram[many[[All, 1]], PlotLabel -> "N = " <> ToString[inner*j]], Histogram[many[[All, 2]]], Histogram3D[many]} ] ] First run a small simulation: Dynamic@plots iterate[3, 4] Click on the GraphicsRow output, grab the lower-right corner, and expand the graphic to fit your screen. Then run a larger simulation and watch the original output graphic: iterate[50, 50] You can also specify the ImageSize: iterate[outer_, inner_, imageSize_] := Block[{many = {}, few, i, j}, For[j = 1, j <= outer, j++, For[few = {}; i = 1, i <= inner, i++, few = {few, Eigenvalues@RandomReal[{0, 10}, {2, 2}]}]; many = Partition[Flatten@{many, few}, 2]; plots = GraphicsRow[{Histogram[many[[All, 1]], PlotLabel -> "N = " <> ToString[inner*j]], Histogram[many[[All, 2]]], Histogram3D[many]}, ImageSize -> imageSize] ] ] Experiment with small simuls until you have everything looking the way you want: Dynamic@plots iterate[3, 4, 600] Then do the longer run: iterate[50, 50, 650] Bobby On Sun, 01 Jul 2007 06:43:15 -0500, jbaker75 at gmail.com <jbaker75 at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi - > > I would like to do the following simple task, but cannot find out how > to do it.
