ggplot2 2.2.1.9000

[Former user]

Hello Nicholas,

This is just to let you know that there is a possible problem in the horizon. I am writing a book and noticed that my ggtern examples had stopped working when I updated 'ggplot2' to the development version now in Github. I am not sure if this is a bug that needs to be fixed in your package or in 'ggplot2' itself.

The current development version of 'ggplot2' breaks ggtern, the example given below results in the following message: Error in f(..., self = self) : unused argument (<environment>)

library(ggtern)
test.data <- data.frame(x = 0.5, y = 0.5, z = 0.5)
ggtern(data=test.data,
       aes(x=R, y=G, z=B)) +
  geom_point()

You may want to discuss this with the maintainer of 'ggplot2' in good time.

Best regards,

Pedro.

Thanks Pedro, I will address this.

Cheers,

[Thomas Hackl]

Have you ever had the chance to look into this?

[Nicholas Hamilton]

Hi Thomas,

The bitbucket version should have this fixed, I'll be pushing to CRAN probably tonight.

Apologies for the delay and inconvenience.

Regards,

NH

Didn't get around to test it sooner, sorry. I've upgraded to ggplot 3.0.0 in the meantime. With that version and the latest ggtern, the issue is fixed. Thanks!

Hi Nicholas,

The update of ggplot2 to 3.3.0 has also cause error relative to ggtern.

With the same example:

 library(ggtern)
 test.data <- data.frame(x = 0.5, y = 0.5, z = 0.5)
 ggtern(data=test.data,
        aes(x=x, y=y, z=z)) +
     geom_point()

one now gets:

Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
