I'm sure this is smack-head moment, but I haven't been able to find an example of this on Nabble or SO, so thought I'd ask.
This works: michigan <- map_data('county', 'michigan') mich_points <- data.frame(x = rnorm(n = 200, median(michigan[,1]), 0.75), y = rnorm(n = 200, median(michigan[,2]), 0.75)) ggplot() + geom_path(aes(long, lat, group = group), data = michigan) + geom_point(aes(x, y), data = mich_points) + coord_map('gilbert', xlim = c(-86, -84)) This generates the following error: *Error in unit(x, default.units) : 'x' and 'units' must have length > 0* #Where tank_trunc is a data.frame with two columns, 'lon' and 'lat' containing point coordinates in storage mode 'double'. michigan_map.df <- map_data('county', 'michigan') ggplot() + geom_point(aes(lon, lat), data = tank_trunc, na.rm = T) + geom_path(aes(long, lat, group = group), data = michigan_map.df) + coord_map('gilbert', xlim = c(-88, -82)) I thought at first maybe the overlay of one layer on another caused the limiting to freak out. But the sketch code above disproves that theory -- thoughts? Some kink in ggplot2's latest implementation? Do I need another package? (e.g., the Scales disunion in the latest release...)
