[R] Error in Arules

[Tibert, Brock]

Thanks for getting back to me.

Here are the basic commands:

These commands work:
library("arules")
basket <- read.csv("C:/Documents and Settings/     /Desktop/mba2.csv",
na.strings=c(".", "NA", "", "?"))
basket2 <- as(split(basket$Product, basket$Id), "transactions")

the following command used to work.  It stopped when I tried to edit the
axes.
image(basket2)

Here is the error:
Error in image.default(basket2) : 'z' must be a matrix

As an aside, when I start R, I noticed that this shows up, and I do not
remember if this was normal:

*******
Loading required package: utils
Loading required package: stats
Loading required package: lattice

Attaching package: 'Matrix'


        The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :

         xtabs 

** fixing ngCMatrix validation
[Previously saved workspace restored]
********


Thanks again,

Brock

It would be helpful to show code that works, and code that doesn't.  But

what the error message says is that someone (you?  the code you called?)

called the image.default function with just one argument basket2, and 
it's not a matrix.
