I have a function: myplot <- function (X) { d <- plotCounts(dds2, gene=X, intgroup="condition", returnData=TRUE) png(paste("img/", X, ".png", sep="")) ggplot(d, aes(x=condition, y=count, color=condition)) + geom_point(position=position_jitter(w=0.1,h=0)) + scale_y_log10(breaks=c(25,100,400)) + ggtitle(X) + theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) dev.off() } 'd' is a dataframe count condition E11.5 F20HET BA40_quant 955.9788 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F20HET BA45_quant 796.2863 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F20HET BB84_quant 745.0340 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F9.20DKO YEH3_quant 334.2994 E11.5 F9.20DKO E11.5 F9.20DKO fkm1_quant 313.7307 E11.5 F9.20DKO E11.5 F9.20DKO zzE2_quant 349.3313 E11.5 F9.20DKO If I set X="Etv5" and paste the contents of the function into R, I get 'img/Etv5.png' If I run myplot(X), I get nothing.> X[1] "Etv5"> list.files("img")character(0)> myplot(X)null device 1> list.files("img")character(0)> d <- plotCounts(dds2, gene=X, intgroup="condition", returnData=TRUE) > png(paste("img/", X, ".png", sep="")) > ggplot(d, aes(x=condition, y=count, color=condition)) ++ geom_point(position=position_jitter(w=0.1,h=0)) + + scale_y_log10(breaks=c(25,100,400)) + + ggtitle(X) + + theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))> dev.off()null device 1> list.files("img")[1] "Etv5.png" Why doesn't my function work?
Hi You have to print it. just add print(all ggplot stuff) inside the function.

I don't really understand. I mean, I understand the solution is print(ggplot(...)). But why is that required in a function and not at the console? Shouldn't I be able to rely on what I do at the console working in a script? Is this inconsistent behavior by design?
