ggthemes are not working

[Mike Dylan]

I have installed ggthemes from the githup ggthemes.master.zip file on my windows xp desktop. When I installed it via the zip file, R did not give me any errors. when I try to use the ggthemes as below:

 

> qplot(carat, price, data = diamonds, colour = cut) + theme_economist() + scale_colour_economist() + ggtitle("Diamonds Are Forever")
Error: could not find function "theme_economist"

Looks like ggthemes is not really installed right. Has anyone got ggthemes working from the githup? I cannot connect to githup directly from R due to firewall issues etc. Does anybody know ggtheme is packaged up somewhere so that it could be easily installed?

 

Regards,

[Mike Dylan]

I did this:

 

> install.packages("ggthemes-master.zip", repos = NULL, type="source")
> library(ggthemes)
Error in library(ggthemes) : there is no package called ‘ggthemes’

> require(ggthemes)
Loading required package: ggthemes
Warning message:
In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE,  :
  there is no package called ‘ggthemes’
>

any ideas?

I can run your example on my machine. I have some warnings saying "The following `from` values were not present in `x`: col, color, pch, cex, lty, lwd, srt, adj, bg, fg, min, max ..." but I did get the graph.

Remember to load the package "ggthemes" before you run the command though.

To get rid of this, the safe thing to do is to reinstall Hadley's
recently updated packages in a fresh R session. The statement is a
message, not an error, so working graphs should still render, but that
message gets annoying in a hurry. Suggestion:

(i) start a new R session with no packages other than the standard autoloads;
(ii) install.packages(c("ggplot2", "plyr", "gtable", "scales"))
(iii) try a simple plot like qplot(1:3, 1:3) - the message should now be gone.

As far as Mike's message goes, I downloaded the ggthemes package from
Github late last week and have had no problems using it. Did you read
the download directions in the README.md file? The simplest way, which
does not require compilation, is to have the latest version of
devtools installed and do

library("devtools")
install_github("ggthemes", "jrnold")

This is what worked for me. The other option is to download the tar
ball to your machine and follow the instructions in README.md; it
doesn't appear you did as instructed.

Hi Dennis:

 

I followed the directions, I can install it without errors but when I attempt to use it, I get an error:

 

here is the output:

 

> install.packages("ggthemes-master.zip", type="source", repos=NULL)

> require(ggthemes)
Loading required package: ggthemes
Warning message:
In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE,  :

Try not running install.packages -- just follow the directions that Dennis posted.
