HI all-
I have used this .fun in S+ without a problem however, in R when I run this
code to generate multiple graphs:
trendplot<-function(datafr,dataf2, abbrev="", titlestr="",
devname="s",filen="",styr=1990,endyr=2012) {
if (!is.null(dev.list())) {dev.off()}
dataf<-datafr[datafr$abbrev==abbrev,] #subset entire dataset with one
species at a time
dataf2sp<-dataf2[dataf2$abbrev==abbrev,] etc...
It returns "Error in dataf2$abbrev : $ operator is invalid for atomic
vectors"
Is there an easy fix for this error?
I suspect you just have to ensure that the thing you are passing in to the `dataf2` parameter is in fact a data.frame -- the error you are getting suggests that it is currently not. Also -- have no fear for the space bar, it is your friend ;-)
Hello,
I had a similar problem and I found two solutions
1) Don't use the $ op on atomic vectors;-). Instead try:
dataf2sp<-dataf2[dataf2["abbrev"]==abbrev,]
2) Make the vector a list. I don't know if there are side-Effects to
this, but perhaps it's just the anxiety of a Java-Programmer who isn't
used to the somewhat easy-going way R deals with classes:
class(dataf2) <- "list"
