Subject: Re: [R] ggplot2 will not draw a rectangle. Error: ggplot2

I get "year not found" and we've exceeded my ability to debug ggplot
code. I hope someone else chimes in: I'd like to know what the answer
is too.

Ah , thanks Sarah
So that's why the error message changed! I was getting different one
earlier.
I had defined rect earlier and apparently, when stripping down the code
I negelected to include it in the example. Renamed rect as rectlib
Now what I get is "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object
'federal.ps' not found" which is what I was getting ealier although at
one point I was getting "year not found".
See revised code.
library(ggplot2)
fcs <- structure(list(year = structure(c(954478800, 986014800,
1017550800,
1049086800, 1080709200, 1112245200, 1143781200, 1175313600,
1206936000,
1238472000, 1270008000, 1301544000, 1333166400), class =
c("POSIXct",
"POSIXt"), tzone = ""), federal.ps = c(211925L, 223933L,
237251L,
242737L, 244158L, 243971L, 249932L, 254622L, 263114L,
274370L,
282955L, 282352L, 278092L)), .Names = c("year",
"federal.ps"),
class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -13L))
rectlib <- data.frame (xmin = as.POSIXct("2000-03-31", "%Y-%m-%d"),
xmax = as.POSIXct("2006-10-31", "%Y-%m-%d"))
p <- ggplot(fcs, aes(year, federal.ps )) + geom_line()
p + geom_rect(data=rectlib, aes(xmin=xmin, xmax = xmax, ymin=-Inf,
ymax = Inf),
fill='red', alpha=0.2)

Hi John,
This bit of your code:
geom_rect(data=rect
Your reproducible example doesn't create rect, and rect() already
exists, so geom_rect() is trying to treat a function as data.

What am I missing? When I run the code below I get the error message
"Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class function"
Googling suggests a message of "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to
deal
with data of class XXX" is not uncommon but I don't see why I am
getting
a "function" error unless I am using some reserved word?
