Hello all,

I am having a perplexing problem trying to use facet_wrap in ggplot, with
both my real dataset and a simplified dummy dataset.  I am trying to plot
heterozygosity across the genome for multiple individuals, with each
chromosome shown separately.

My dummy data:
chr1    123000  124000  2       0.00002 26      0.00026 indiv1
chr1    124000  125000  3       0.00003 12      0.00012 indiv1
chr1    125000  126000  1       0.00001 6       0.00006 indiv1
chr1    126000  126000  2       0.00002 14      0.00014 indiv1
chr2    123000  124000  6       0.00006 20      0.00020 indiv1
chr2    124000  125000  0       0.00000 12      0.00012 indiv1
chr1    123000  124000  2       0.00002 26      0.00026 indiv2
chr1    124000  125000  3       0.00003 12      0.00012 indiv2
chr1    125000  126000  1       0.00001 6       0.00006 indiv2
chr1    126000  126000  2       0.00002 14      0.00014 indiv2
chr2    123000  124000  6       0.00006 20      0.00020 indiv2
chr2    124000  125000  0       0.00000 12      0.00012 indiv2

My code to read in the data:
hetshoms <- read.table("fakedata.txt", header=F)

chrom <- hetshoms$V1
start.pos <- hetshoms$V2
end.pos <- hetshoms$V3
hets <- hetshoms$V4
het_stat <- hetshoms$V5
homs <- hetshoms$V6
hom_stat <- hetshoms$V7
indiv <- hetshoms$V8

HetRatio <- hets/(hets+homs)

When I try to plot the chromosomes separately in qplot, it works fine:
testplot <- qplot(start.pos, HetRatio, facets = chrom ~ ., colour=chrom)

But when I try an analogous thing in ggplot, it does not work.
The first part works fine:
testplot <- ggplot(hetshoms, aes(x=start.pos, y=HetRatio)) +
geom_point(aes(color=chrom, alpha=1/4)) 

but when I try to add the facet_wrap:
testplot + facet_wrap(~chrom)

This produces the following error (and no plot)
"Error en layout_base(data, vars, drop = drop) : 
  At least one layer must contain all variables used for facetting"

I have tried adding an (as.formula(paste)) and directly calling hetshoms$V1
but neither solves the problem.

Can anyone please point out where I have gone wrong and how to fix my code?  

Much appreciated,
Loren
