Hi,

I really feel I've looked everywhere, although I know this can't be a hard
problem. I'd like to be able to call the graph below as a function, but I
can't get the function to recognize variables beyond 'dframe'. I've read
through many papers on writing functions in R, but I can't get this to work.
data <- data.frame('date' = as.Date(rep(c(15101,
            15108, 15115, 15122, 15129, 15136, 15143, 15150),4),
            origin = '1899-12-30'),
            'factor' = factor(rep(c('first','second'), each = 8, 2)),
            'value' = rep(c(429258, 430645, 431165, 431360, 452284, 467316,
467326, 467330,
            375588, 411383, 427179, 364582, 351494, 359034, 374047,
            339628),2),
            'Facet' = rep(c('bottom','top'), each = 16))

pTitle <- 'Main Title'
plines <- c('Line 1', 'Line 2','Line 3', 'Line 4')
col1 <- c('#ec421e', '#f7bd2e','#ec421e', '#f7bd2e')

#If I use the line below and explicitly place plines, pTitle and col1 in the
appropriate places
#it will work fine. I want to use the line as written without the hashmark.
#simple <- function(dframe){

withNames <- function(dframe, lineNames, plotName, colors){
    p <- ggplot(dframe, aes(date, value, group = factor, color = factor))
    p2 <- p + geom_line(size = 1)
#   + opts(title = plotName)
    p2 <- p2 + facet_grid(Facet~., scales = 'free') +
#    p2 <- p2 + geom_text(data = dframe[dframe[,'date'] == '1941-06-16',],
#          aes(date, value, label = lineNames, vjust = 1)) +
          scale_colour_manual(values = colors)
}

finalP <- withNames(data, plines, pTitle, col1)

#finalP <- simple(data)
