The Dyer Laboratory: ggproblems

Rodney Dyer

OK, so there is a bit of a circular firing squad going on in some of my R installs with ggplot2. Apparently, you can get various CRAN/Github versions out of sync and a whole host of different. Here is how it started:

> df <- data.frame(x=runif(20),y=runif(20),z=runif(20))
> library(ggtern)
Loading required package: ggplot2

Attaching package: ‘ggtern’

The following objects are masked from ‘package:ggplot2’:

    %+%, aes, annotate, calc_element, ggplot, ggplot_build,
    ggplot_gtable, ggplotGrob, ggsave, layer_data, theme, theme_bw,
    theme_classic, theme_dark, theme_gray, theme_light, theme_linedraw,
    theme_minimal, theme_void

> ggtern(df,aes(x,y,z))
Error in f(..., self = self) : unused argument (<environment>)

hmmm…. Then ggmap also died.

To fix this, I did the following:

Removed ggtern, ggplot2, and ggmap from my library
Installed ggplot2 from CRAN
Installed ggmap from GitHub
Installed ggtern from Bitbucket (why not github, I don’t know).

Seems to work now.
