Never, ever, ... ever, use the "$" operator in a formula. Use the 'data'
argument and the 'formula' as they are supposed to be used.
David,
I apologize for annoying, exhausting, and frustrating you. It is not my
intent and I learned to use the data argument and not the "$" operator a
while ago. I have not be able to find why that's not working here.
Following the 'usage' section in ?xyplot I specify 'x'/'formula' followed
by the data specification. When I omit the "$" operator R (version 3.3.1)
displays an empty device window and an error message (shown below the source
file). The dput() file is attached and the script presented here:
----
# This scatter plot displays amount by day for each station, distinguished
# by color. 'plot-rain-by-date.R'
# load rain data file
rain <- read.table("daily_records.dat", header = TRUE, sep = ",", quote =
"\"\"")
rain$date <- as.Date(rain$date)
# Create a factor from the date
raindate <- as.factor(rain$date)
# Save original plotting parameters
opar <- par(xpd=NA,no.readonly=T)
# Prepare the plot of the data
rainbyday <- xyplot(rain$amount ~ raindate, data = rain, main = "Area
Precipitation",
ylab = "Daily Total Amount (in)", xlab = "Date",
scales = list(x=list(at=c(1,8,15,22,29,36,43,50,57,62), rot
= 90),
y = list(at=c(min(rain$amount), max(rain$amount)))),
pch = 20,
col = c("black","red","dark green","dark blue","dark
goldenrod","dark magenta"),
key = simpleKey(text = levels(rain$station)[1:6],
x = 0.2, y = 0.6, corner = c(0, 0), points = TRUE),
par.settings = list(plot.symbol = list(c("black","red","dark
green","dark blue",
"dark goldenrod","dark magenta"),
pch = 20, cex = 1.2)))
# Plot it
plot(rainbyday)
# Reset display parameters
par(opar)
-----
When I eliminate the "$" operator this is the error message:
source("plot-rain-by-day.R")
Error in xyplot.formula(amount ~ raindate, data = rain, main =
"Area Precipitation", (from plot-rain-by-day.R#14) :
object 'amount' not found
The "$" operator appears 4 times; removing any one (or all) of them
produces the same not found error. If there's another syntax error in the
xyplot() call, or a logic error in the script please show me my mistake.
With the "$" operator there's no error, but the key does not use pch=20;
have I mis-placed Duncan's suggested par.settings?
