[R] Trying to change a qplot() to a ggplot()+

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

It is ggplot (double G), not qqplot (double Q)

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Onderwerp: [R] Trying to change a qplot() to a ggplot()+

I'm trying to change a qplot to a ggplot. The reason is because I want two plots of the same data. One a bar char, the other a line graph.
What I'm trying:

#MSU_graph_m1b <-
qplot(Int_Start,LicPrLsys4HMSU,data=cpprdald2_m1,geom="bar",stat="identity",color=System_alias);

MSU_graph_m1   <-
qqplot(cpprdald2_m1,aes(x=Int_Start,y=LicPrLsys4HSMU,colour=System_alias));

MSU_graph_m1b  <- MSU_graph_m1+geom_bar();

#MSU_graph_m1l <- qplot(Int_Start,LicPrLsys4HMSU,data=cpprdald2_m1,geom="line");

MSU_graph_m1l  <- MSU_graph_m1+geom_line();

The commented lines are what works. What fails is the first ggplit() like:

> MSU_graph_m1   <- qqplot(cpprdald2_m1,aes(x=Int_Start,y=LicPrLsys4HSMU,colour=System_alias));
Error in as.matrix.data.frame(x) :
  dims [product 9912] do not match the length of object [9923]
>

cpprdald2_m1 is:
> str(cpprdald2_m1)
'data.frame':   168 obs. of  60 variables:

and Int_Start and LicPrLsys4HSMU are variables in cpprdald2_m1.
Int_Start is a POSIXlt. LicPrLsys4HSMU is a number. I have also tried with x=as.character(Int_Start) in the aes().

I am using the book "R GRAPHICS COOKBOOK" as my source of examples. I am obviously oblivious to something.
