Hi,
Any ideas why I don't get the same graph out of p1 and p3?
I have also posted it in the rstudio community without luck.
https://community.rstudio.com/t/ggplot2-geom-path-in-a-loop/102716/2
library(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame(x = c(0,25,0,-25,0), y = c(25,0,-25,0,25))
p1 <- ggplot()
p1 <- p1 + geom_path(data = df,aes(x = x/1, y = y/1))
p1 <- p1 + geom_path(data = df,aes(x = x/2, y = y/2))
p1 <- p1 + xlim(-30,30)
p1 <- p1 + ylim(-30,30)
p1
df <- data.frame(x = c(0,25,0,-25,0), y = c(25,0,-25,0,25))
p3 <- ggplot()
idx <- 1
p3 <- p3 + geom_path(data = df,aes(x = x/idx, y = y/idx))
idx <- 2
p3 <- p3 + geom_path(data = df,aes(x = x/idx, y = y/idx))
p3 <- p3 + xlim(-30,30)
p3 <- p3 + ylim(-30,30)
p3
I don't know where it says this in the docs, but generally speaking
ggplot2 graphs don't evaluate everything until you print them. So I'd
expect p3's two geom_path components to be identical, even though you
changed idx.
I think you can force evaluation before printing (using ggplot_build),
but I don't think you can modify the graph after that, so you'll need
two different variables instead of changing idx.
