R plugin, ggplot2: could not find function "initRefFields"

[Frans Marcelissen-4]

Hi,
I have a problem combining R and SPSS (21). I do not know whether the solution is in R or in spss, so I will post both in the R group and in the SPSS group.

I use the R plugin in spss(21). The most important reason to use this plugin is ggplot2.This plugin requires R 14.0 (14.2 or 15 does not work).

When I install R it gives an warning:

> library(ggplot2)
Warning message:
package ‘ggplot2’ was built under R version 2.14.2

After that, when i use gplot2:
> ggplot()+geom_bar(aes(x=factor(1),y=10))
Error in initFields(scales = scales) :
  could not find function "initRefFields"

I found on internet that the solution for this problem is upgrading to a newer version of R (and indeed, on 2.15 or 3.0 ggplot2 works fine). spss needs 2.14.0, however.

Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks

R2.14.2 with Statistics 21 should work fine.  In most cases, in my experience, you can ignore warning messages about versions anyway.

Hi Frans,

Did you try using stat="identity"?

options(warn=-1)
require("ggplot2") || install.packages("ggplot2")
ggplot() + geom_bar(aes(x=factor(10),y=2), stat="identity")
# or perhaps a nicer example:
dta <- data.frame(x=runif(100, 2, 10), y=runif(100, 4, 10))
ggplot() + geom_bar(aes(x=factor(dta$x),y=dta$y), stat="identity")

> R.Version()$version.string; R.Version()$os
[1] "R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)"
[1] "linux-gnu"
 

Regards,
Albert-Jan
