Hello,

No, it's not possible to work with a matrix in ggplot2.
Not even with an object of class "list".



l <- list(x=1:5, y=1:5)
d <- as.data.frame(l)
m <- as.matrix(d)

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(l, aes(x, y)) + geom_point()  # Error
ggplot(d, aes(x, y)) + geom_point()  # OK, as expected
ggplot(m, aes(x, y)) + geom_point()  # Error



Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

I need to plot the results (ggplot2) and I'm thinking I can only use a data.frame object 
in ggplot2. It is a rath r large "list" over 1 million rows. It is possible to 
work with a matrix in ggplot2?

Subject: Re: [R] Converting a list to a data frame

Others have shown you how to extract the matrix and convert it to a dataframe.  
My only addition is to suggest that you don't do this:
matrix methods are often much more efficient than dataframe methods, so if you 
can work with the matrix without conversion, you'll often find things run a lot 
faster.
