Angering qplot? (Causing " evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?")

[Jason Rupert]

Evidently I am angering qplot.

Here is an example of the type of data I'm sending qplot:

rnorm_test_data<-rnorm(1000,3,6)
house_age<-seq(1:1000)

length(rnorm_test_data)
length(house_age)

house_info<-data.frame(rnorm_test_data,
house_age,
Location = c("NA"))

qplot(house_age, data = house_info, binwidth = 1,
fill = factor(as.character(house_info$Location)))

It tells me, and probably correctly:
Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?

Is there anyway for "fill" to work properly with a single factor? I think that is causing the problem, i.e. I am sending in a single factor. I was hoping that "fill" would have recognized this and only used a single "fill" color. Do I need to handle this type of situation instead of leaving it up to qplot?

Thank you again for your insights and feedback.

Hi Jason,

Do you want to just fill the geom with one colour?

qplot(house_age, data = house_info, binwidth = 1,

     fill = 'blue')

Hope that's what you wanted

Luciano,

Thank you for your quick response and the information you provide.

I tried to implement what you suggested, but I still end up with the same result:

> rnorm_test_data<-rnorm(1000,3,6)
> house_age<-seq(1:1000)
>
> length(rnorm_test_data)

[1] 1000
> length(house_age)
[1] 1000
>
> house_info<-data.frame(rnorm_test_data,
+ house_age,
+ Location = c("NA"))
> qplot(house_age, data = house_info, binwidth = 1, fill = 'blue')

Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?

Thank you for any further information or advice you might be able to provide.

Your code works fine for me. Try a clean R session or maybe updating
R, my sessionInfo():

R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26)

[baptiste auguie]

your version of plyr looks oldish, try updating it perhaps?
