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.

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.
