考虑在函数中使用ggplot(...)
。
x <- seq(1,10,by=0.1)
df <- data.frame(x,y1=x, y2=cos(2*x)/(1+x))
library(ggplot2)
gg.fun <- function(){
i=2
plot(ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=df[,i]))+geom_line())
}
if(exists("i")) remove(i)
gg.fun()
# Error in `[.data.frame`(df, , i) : object 'i' not found
i=3
gg.fun() # plots df[,3] vs. x
看起来ggplot
无法识别函数内定义的变量i
,但 识别i
是否在全局环境中定义。那是为什么?
请注意,这会给出预期的结果。
gg.new <- function(){
i=2
plot(ggplot(data.frame(x=df$x,y=df[,i]),aes(x,y)) + geom_line())
}
if(exists("i")) remove(i)
gg.new() # plots df[,2] vs. x
i=3
gg.new() # also plots df[,2] vs. x
答案 0 :(得分:6)
让我们返回一个非呈现的ggplot
对象,看看发生了什么:
gg.str <- function() {
i=2
str(ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=df[,i]))+geom_line())
}
gg.str()
List of 9

正如我们所看到的,mapping
y
只是一个未经评估的表达。现在,当我们要求进行实际绘图时,表达式在plot_env
内进行评估,这是全局的。我不知道为什么会这样做;我相信这是有原因的。
这是一个可以覆盖此行为的演示:
gg.envir <- function(envir=environment()) {
i=2
p <- ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=df[,i]))+geom_line()
p$plot_env <- envir
plot(p)
}
# evaluation in local environment; ok
gg.envir()
# evaluation in global environment (same as default); fails if no i
gg.envir(environment())
