Permanently hacking ggplot2
Thomas
As part of another thread in this group:
http://groups.google.com/group/ggplot2/browse_thread/thread/d5e6500e273f8191/1a307ffedca6f7b2?lnk=gst&q=facet+dimension#1a307ffedca6f7b2
I have devised a hack in the facetting functionality of ggplot2. Now I
have another problem which I think warrants its own thread.
How do you alter code in the ggplot2 package permanently? If I repack
from source it complains about the MD5 checksums not corresponding
(naturally), but besides this I would like to do it from within the R
console.
assignInNamespace does not seem to permanently affect the package and
does also throw an error when used with facet_panels.grid:
> assignInNamespace('facet_panels.grid', facet_panels.grid, ns='ggplot2')
Error in get(S3[i, 1L], mode = "function", envir = parent.frame()) :
object 'facet_panels' of mode 'function' was not found
(This error does not occur when assigning facet_grid.
Best Wishes

If I were you I would try to get this into the main version rather
than forking and hacking. If you go down that road you're going to
have to re-do this every time a new version is released (either that
or forgo future improvements from the main version).
That said, if you must fork, github makes it pretty easy. Just sign up
for a github account, fork and hack away. You can even use
install_github from devtools to install your hacked version directly
from github.
Best,
