Hello All,
I am running the following code in RStudio, and I keep on getting an error
message that says: "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large"
Is there something that I am doing wrong?
# Import Data
nba <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/ppg2008.csv",
sep=",")
nba
#Sort Data (sorting by Points, but could be sorting by any other variable)
nba <- nba[order(nba$PTS),]
#Prepare Data: makes rows by player name instead of Row Number
row.names(nba) <- nba$Name
#Prepare Data: don't need first column anymore, so we get rid of it
nba <- nba[,2:20]
#Prepe Data: change data from a data frame to a data matrix
nba_matrix <- data.matrix(nba)
#Create Heat Map
nba_heatmap <- heatmap(nba_matrix, Rowv=NA, Colv=NA, col = cm.colors(256),
scale="column", margins=c(5,10))

Your code works okay in a plan R terminal. It may be an Rstudio problem or perhaps you already have a graphics device open and are trying to draw into it?

Dear Karly, I don't know if you've resolved your problem but I just came across the same thing in RStudio and I think I've found out what the problem is. The problem seems to occur when the plot viewing panel (by default in the bottom right) is very small. The plot function tries to create a plot within the physical space of the plot panel. If the plot panel is tiny, then the default margins of the plot may be larger than the graph/graphic itself. It is then you get the error. The simple solution is just to increase the size of the plot area in Rstudio and then try to run the code again. The plot should be created no problem. If you are still getting the issue despite doing this, let me know and I'll try and look a bit deeper into the problem!
