Dear all, In mucking around with ggplot2, I've hit the following snag,
library(ggplot2) # this returns a grob, OK GeomAbline$icon() # lines[GRID.lines.9] # this returns the function icon, OK GeomAbline$icon # proto method (instantiated with ): function (.) # linesGrob(c(0, 1), c(0.2, 0.8)) # <environment: 0x13e6800> Now I want to wrap this in a function, getIcon <- function(geom){ st <- paste("Geom", firstUpper(geom), sep="") g <- get(st, 2) g$icon() } getIcon("abline") # still OK # lines[GRID.lines.10] but ... getIcon <- function(geom){ st <- paste("Geom", firstUpper(geom), sep="") g <- get(st, 2) g$icon } getIcon("abline") # proto method (instantiated with ): # Error in get("icon", env = g, inherits = TRUE) : object 'g' not found So, it seems that I'm being too naive about using get on a proto object or something along those lines. I'd be grateful if proto experts could help me extract the icon function from this object.
