Dear R helpers,
I have a problem with exporting a chart (to any format). The graphic device
becomes inactive and I get the 'Error: invalid graphics state' error message. I
searched the help, web and FAQ but couldn't find the solution.
This is my code:
I chart a histogram for differences in R2 by sample size (an extract from the
data is below). Altogether I have n=2500 observations (n=500 per sample size)
Size; Delta_R2
60; 0.0073842
60; 0.0007156
...
70; 0.0049717
70; 0.0121892
...
150; 0.0139615
150; 0.0088114
...
250; 0.0027976
250; 0.0109080
...
450; 0.0050917
450; 0.0088114
...
The histogram works ok and I can save or copy to pdf/jpeg/png etc with no
problems
library(lattice)
plot.new()
histogram(~Delta_R2|as.factor(Size), type="percent", col="red", xlab="Delta OLS
- SV R squared", main="R Squared Deviations")
Once I put the legends (5 text boxes) on the chart and I try to save or copy it
as pdf / jpeg/png etc I get the above mentioned error message.
This is the code for adding the legends:
*The locations of the legends for each chart
leg_loc=matrix(c( -0.1, 0.26, 0.62, -0.1, 0.26, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 1, 1),ncol=2,
nrow=5, byrow=FALSE)
*Calculate the statistics for each sample size to display on the legends
for (i in 1:5) {
nR=(i-1)*500+1
nR2=nR+499
z=data[nR:nR2,13]
m<-mean(z)
std<-sqrt(var(z))
iqr=IQR(z)
median=median(z)
*Adding to the chart
legend(leg_loc[i,1],leg_loc[i,2], legend= paste(
"Mean=",round(m,3),'\n',
"SD=",round(std,3),'\n',
"Median =",round(median,3),'\n',
"IQR=", round(iqr,3)),bty="n")
}
Do you know why it is happening?
Thank you in advance,
Lena
