The following is a plot that used to work (last December, I think with a patched version of ggplot2 from Hadley), but has stopped working with recent updates. Other instances of facet_grid work and the data look normal to me. Since I have no idea what caused the error message, I'm having trouble producing a reproducible example or solving the problem. Has anyone seen this before? Many thanks, Jacob Etches > p <- qplot(year,prop.excl,data=subset(excl,!is.na(ftf) & exclusion %in% c("disab_inc_rec","family_death","fs_ch","ft2_ch","retir_inc_rec")), geom=c("line"), colour=Exclusion, ylab="Proportion of persons per exposure year",xlab="Start year of exposure window") > p+ facet_grid(ftf + Sex ~ Age) Error in rbind(c("spacer", "strip_h", "strip_h", "strip_h", "strip_h", : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 2) In addition: Warning message: In rbind(list(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1), list(0.77705, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.545041666666667, : number of columns of result is not a multiple of vector length (arg 1) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
