Apologies! I though that the Orange dataset comes with R, but it is in fact in the package "datasets".
So here's another "Orange2" dataset for the example: Tree_v = rep(c(1:5),each = 5) age_v = rep(seq(1,25, by = 5),5) + 10*runif(25) circumference_v <- rep(seq(21,45, by = 5), 5)*Tree_v + 25*runif(25) Orange2 <- data.frame(Tree = as.factor(Tree_v), age = age_v, circumference = circumference_v) This works fine: ggplot(data = Orange2, aes(x = age, y = circumference, color = Tree)) + geom_line() These generate errors (included): > ggplot(data = Orange2, aes(x = age, y = circumference, color = Tree, linetype > = Tree)) + geom_line() Error in get("check_domain", env = ., inherits = TRUE)(., ...) : Too many values in domain (5 > 4) > ggplot(data = Orange2, aes(x = age, y = circumference, color = Tree)) + > geom_line() + scale_linetype_manual(value = c(1:5)) Error in unit(values, units, data = data) : 'x' and 'units' must have length > 0 What am I doing wrong?
