[R] storing ggplot objects as components of a vector

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

You'll need to store it in a list rather than a vector.

library(ggplot2)
DF<-data.frame(A=rnorm(12),B=c(1:12),C=rep(c(1:4),each=3))
Q <- list()
PAC<-geom_point(mapping=aes(x=A,y=B),data=DF[DF$C==1,])
P<-ggplot()+PAC
Q[[length(Q) + 1]] <- P
Q[[1]]

You could shorten this into

library(ggplot2)
DF<-data.frame(A=rnorm(12),B=c(1:12),C=rep(c(1:4),each=3))
Q <- list()
Q[[length(Q) + 1]] <- ggplot(DF[DF$C==1,], aes(x=A,y=B)) + geom_point()
Q[[1]] 

HTH,

Onderwerp: [R] storing ggplot objects as components of a vector

Hi.

I have a lot of plots that i need to store as components of a vector.
Here you have an example

> DF<-data.frame(A=rnorm(12),B=c(1:12),C=rep(c(1:4),each=3))
> Q<-c()
> length(Q)<-3
> PAC<-geom_point(mapping=aes(x=A,y=B),data=DF[DF$C==1,])
> P<-ggplot()+PAC
> P #generates the plot
> Q[1]<-P
Warning message:
In Q[1] <- P :
  número de items para para sustituir no es un múltiplo de la longitud del reemplazo
> Q[1]
[[1]]
NULL


I guess the problem is the class of Q[1]. 
if so, what class should I coerce Q to for the sentence: > Q[1] to generate the plot as > P does?

thanks in advance
