Problem with Windows 7 and scales

[mcpeterson]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem running the following code on windows 7. (Never
had this problem before).

fake_data <- runif(1:1000)
qplot(fake_data) + scale_x_discrete("random")

Not the most stylish code, but in the past it has given me what I
expected with the qplot histogram and the "random" label on the x
axis.

On my new machine I get this error:
stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to adjust
this.
Error in unit(at, "native") : 'x' and 'units' must have length > 0

Any ideas on what might be causing this? Is there a recommend version
of R and ggplot2 for windows 7?

Hi mcpeterson,

What are you trying to do with that plot? Why are you applying a
discrete scale to continuous data?

As Hadley pointed out, this is not a Windows 7 problem.

The following runs on my Windows 7 machine:

fake_data <- runif(1:1000)
qplot(fake_data) + scale_x_continuous("random")

Hadley and Andrie my mistake, followed your suggestions. Thanks for
the help!
