Hello, I have a set of one-liners (many thanks to previous responses from this list) that I use to look at newly imported data sets with functions like dim(), names(), str(), etc. within lapply(). Generally, these commands work for me but, I am apparently still missing some aspect of list manipulation. I don't understand why I get a set of NULL list elements at the end of each output as

Hello, I'm trying to convert a character column in several dataframes to lower case. ### # # Sample data and 'spp' column summaries: # dput(ban.ovs.1993[sample(row.names(ban.ovs.1993), 20), 1:4]) ban.ovs.93 <- structure(list(oplt = c(43L, 43L, 38L, 26L, 35L, 8L, 39L, 1L, 34L, 50L, 10L, 29L, 31L, 24L, 18L, 12L, 27L, 49L, 28L, 51L), rplt = c(NA_integer_, NA_integer_,

Hello, I am unable to figure out how to code a new column in a data frame based on an existing column that matches a column in a reference data frame, in a relational-db fashion. I would like this to maintain a minimum set of reference tables that may be reused over several similar datasets. Specifically, I have two data frames as listed below, 'Bos' and 'tree.' For each case in

ggplot2 ------------------------------------------------------------ ggplot2 is a plotting system for R, based on the grammar of graphics, which tries to take the good parts of base and lattice graphics and avoid bad parts. It takes care of many of the fiddly details that make plotting a hassle (like drawing legends) as well as providing a powerful model of graphics that makes it easy to produce

Hi all, I am using ftable and xtabs to get total counts of species per location per hight category (understory, midstory and overstory). i can save the data in almost the format i would like it to be - but not quite. Here it is an example of what i get: x - is a dataframe with the following columns: LocationID, Species, PercentCover, Category where Category tells if the Species belongs to

Hello, Two lapply questions (system info and sample data below): 1) Why does the first form of command1 add the name of y _after_ the str() output rather than before as does the second (preferred) form? # command1 version1 invisible(lapply(ls(pattern='bn'), function(y) cat(y, "\n", str(get(y)), "\n") )) # command1 version2 (preferred output)

Aloha all, I love using ggplot. It took a while to get used to the grammar of graphics, but it is starting to get easy now that I am thinking in a more structured way. A question. I'm making a wind rose that I'd like to be oriented with due north straight up. I've discovered that the orientation is sensitive to how north is represented. When north is represented as 0,

Thanks to Joshua Wiley for turning me on to ggplot2. I am making a plot using this: p <- ggplot(dallas, aes(x = offense_hour)) + geom_bar() + coord_polar() Dallas is a data frame, and offense_hour is a column with chron objects from the chron library. In this case, the chron object was created with the times function. It is only a time (H:M:S) with no date attached. The plot shows up fine,

Hello HelpeRs, The last print statement in the code segment below results in : Error in data$x[data$x == -Inf] <- range$x.range[1] : replacement has length zero R version 2.14.1 Patched (2011-12-23 r57982) ggplot2: version 0.90 OS : Linux (64bit) Any thoughts? Many Thanks, A. ## code segment starts here df <- data.frame( trt = factor(c(1, 1, 2, 2)), resp = c(1, 5,

Hi, I am a graduate student at the University of Maine in forestry. I am studying spatial pattern analysis of tree regeneration. My study design is a contiguous grid in which regeneration is completely sampled, and hopefully analyzed using surface pattern techniques. I am also interested in examining the relationship of the regeneration density with overstory trees, which have a GPS location,

I am trying to create a simple dot-plot in ggplot2 with a solid line from the y-axis to the dot, something I first saw in Cleveland's 1984 book What I would like is to have the graph start at zero on the x-axis but leave some space on the right side of the plot area. I assumed that I should be able to do this with expand() in scale_x_continuous() but either I'm wrong or just don't

Dear R users, First just want to say thank you to all for developing such a wonderful software and packages. I need to produce a wind rose plot. Tried with packages circular and plotrix and couldn't quite get what I want. Moved to package ggplot2 and it's going great. However stuck in how to move axis labels. I am using the wind rose from the help to learn how to do what I need (code

Dear R users, The following issue has been already documented, but, if I am not mistaken, not yet solved. This issue appears while trying to plot arrows with "geom_segment" (package ggplot2), with polar coordinates ("coord_polar"). The direction of some arrows is wrong (red rectangle). Please find herewith an example. Does someone know how to deal with that issue? Best

Hello all, I've been using the following qplot command: qplot(pixX,pixY, data=som, geom="tile", fill=rgb) + scale_fill_identity() + opts(aspect.ratio = .75) + facet_grid(unitX ~ unitY) Now I would like to convert it into the explicit ggplot grammar, so I can remove the extras: axes, labels, background, borders, facet labels, and extra white-space around the plot. (If anyone has

Dear R gurus - consider this plot: library(ggplot2) dat <- sample(1:8,100,replace=TRUE) smp <- ggplot(data.frame(dat), aes(x=factor(dat),fill=factor(dat))) + geom_bar(width=1) smp + coord_polar() Q1. How do I change the font size and weight of bar labels (1,2,3...)? I've been wallowing in the 'Themes' structure and I just can't figure out the correct place to change

I'm having trouble figuring out how to format Date variables when used as axis labels in graphs. The particular case here is an attempt to re-create Nightingale's coxcomb graph with ggplot2, where I'd like the months to be labeled as "Mar 1885", "Apr 1885", using a date format of "%b %Y" applied to label the dates, or really anything other than
