I have a function: myplot <- function (X) { d <- plotCounts(dds2, gene=X, intgroup="condition", returnData=TRUE) png(paste("img/", X, ".png", sep="")) ggplot(d, aes(x=condition, y=count, color=condition)) + geom_point(position=position_jitter(w=0.1,h=0)) + scale_y_log10(breaks=c(25,100,400)) + ggtitle(X) + theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))
dev.off() } 'd' is a dataframe count condition E11.5 F20HET BA40_quant 955.9788 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F20HET BA45_quant 796.2863 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F20HET BB84_quant 745.0340 E11.5 F20HET E11.5 F9.20DKO YEH3_quant 334.2994 E11.5 F9.20DKO E11.5 F9.20DKO fkm1_quant 313.7307 E11.5 F9.20DKO E11.5 F9.20DKO zzE2_quant 349.3313 E11.5 F9.20DKO If I set X="Etv5" and paste the contents of the function into R, I get 'img/Etv5.png' If I run myplot(X), I get nothing. > X [1] "Etv5" > list.files("img") character(0) > myplot(X) null device 1 > list.files("img") character(0) > d <- plotCounts(dds2, gene=X, intgroup="condition", returnData=TRUE) > png(paste("img/", X, ".png", sep="")) > ggplot(d, aes(x=condition, y=count, color=condition)) + + geom_point(position=position_jitter(w=0.1,h=0)) + + scale_y_log10(breaks=c(25,100,400)) + + ggtitle(X) + + theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) > dev.off() null device 1 > list.files("img") [1] "Etv5.png" Why doesn't my function work? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
