I need to call ggplot() from another function with the names of the faceting variables supplied as arguments to the calling function. These names (which are names of columns in the relevant data frame)
are given as character arguments, say "rowName" and "colName". Suppose that rowName is equal to "clyde" and colName is equal to "irving". I'd like to do something like ... + facet_grid(row=vars(rowName), col=vars(colName)) + ... but this does not work. For instance, vars(rowName) gives
[[1]] <quosure> expr: ^rowName env: global
I'd like to get the same thing as if I said vars(clyde) which gives
<list_of<quosure>> [[1]] <quosure> expr: ^clyde env: global
There *must* be some magic arcane incantation that I can apply to rowName (and colName) to get what I want. Mustn't there?
I tried things like vars(as.name(rowName)) --- nope, no help at all. Can anyone help me out? cheers, Rolf Turner -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
