Hi:

While responding to a post on R-help this morning, I used plyr and ggplot2 to do the bulk of the
work, but I kept getting an error message on each plot even though it rendered correctly on the
graphics device.

Here's the input data set I used, in dput form :)

structure(list(cn = structure(c(4L, 3L, 5L, 2L, 3L, 6L, 5L, 6L,

3.8)), .Names = c("cn", "spl01", "spl02", "spl03", "spl04", "spl05",

33L, 34L, 35L, 36L), class = "data.frame")

Here's the code I used:

library(ggplot2)

spikes.long <- melt(spikelets2, id = 'cn')

# Pull out the numeric part of the var names
spikes.long$loc <- as.numeric(substring(spikes.long$variable, 4))
# Poster wanted to separate 'side', where odd was one side and even the other
spikes.long$side <- factor(2 - spikes.long$loc %% 2)
# remove the unnecessary variable term...
spikes.long$variable <- NULL

# Scatterplot by cultivar (cn), coded by color:
p <- qplot(loc, value, data = spikes.long, group = cn,
           colour = side)
p + facet_grid(cn ~ .)

# Paired boxplots by side for each cultivar:
q <- ggplot(spikes.long, aes(side, value))
q + geom_boxplot() + facet_grid(~ cn)

# Scatterplot with smooths for each cultivar:
ggplot(spikes.long, aes(loc, value, colour = cn)) +
    geom_point() + geom_smooth(se = FALSE)

In each of the three plots, I got the error message:

Error in recordGraphics(drawGTree(x), list(x = x), getNamespace("grid")) :
  invalid graphics state

yet all three graphs rendered in the graphics device as expected. As this may
be a possible buglet, I thought I'd report it here.

Hi Dennis,

Whenever I've encountered this error in the past, it's gone away after
I restarted R. Does that fix it for you?
