Hello all,
I have a peculiar and particular bug that I stumbled across with
ggplot2. I cannot seem to replicate it with anything other than my specific
data set.
Here is the problem:
- when I try to plot a histogram, allowing for ggplot2 to decide the
binwidths itself, I get the following error:
- stat_bin: binwidth defaulted to range/30. Use 'binwidth = x' to
adjust this.
- Error: position_stack requires constant width
My code is simply:
ggplot(data=myDataSet, aes(x=myVarOI)) + geom_histogram()
or
qplot(myDataSet$myVarOI)
If I go ahead and set the binwidth to some value, then the plot can be
made without problems.
The problem is with the specific data that it is trying to plot. I
suspect it is trying to create bins of different sizes, from the error
code. Here are the basics of my data set:
- length: 1936 entries
- 1906 unique entries
- stats:
- Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
3.200e+09 6.312e+09 6.591e+09 6.874e+09 7.551e+09 1.083e+10
I cannot imagine this can be solved without my specifically uploading
the actual data. If I simply attach it, will it be received by r-help?
Hadley, if you're interested, would you like me to send you the data
directly to you?
Regards,
Mike
