Hi Hadley,
Thanks for the help.
I found the problem. In the code you sent me earlier to correct the
scale_y_continuous, (below) the parameter is "limits", rather than
"limit", as you write it. If I run my code without introducing the
change you sent me, it works, but if I first correct it, then I have
to use the changed spelling.
Thanks again,
Pedro
PS: If you care to explain: why do all parameters in the code below
have a "." before the name, except precisely "limits"? I
know it has
to do with "proto", but could not find out why this one was different.
================[...] The fix will be included in the next version of
ggplot, or you can fix the current version by running this code:
ScaleContinuous$new <- function(., name=NULL, limits=c(NA,NA),
breaks=NULL, labels=NULL, variable, trans="identity", expand=c(0.05,
0)) {
if (is.null(breaks) && !is.null(labels)) stop("Labels can only
be
specified in conjunction with breaks")
.$proto(name=name, .input=variable, .output=variable,
limits=limits, .breaks = breaks, .labels = labels, .expand=expand)
}
