Hello-World

Here is a Hello-World Example for creating ternary diagrams in ggtern. Almost identical to building a ggplot2 object.

library(ggtern)
# Based of random data.
DATA <- data.frame(A = runif(100), B = runif(100), C = runif(100))
plot <- ggtern(data = DATA, 
               mapping = aes(x = A, y = B, z = C)) + 
        geom_point()
plot

library(ggtern)

# Based of random data.

DATA <- data.frame(A = runif(100), B = runif(100), C = runif(100))

plot <- ggtern(data = DATA,

mapping = aes(x = A, y = B, z = C)) +

geom_point()

plot

After running this example, I’m getting this as an error:
Error in find_global(scale_name, env, mode = “function”) :
unused argument (mode = “function”)

Is there something wrong with the ggtern package?

Works fine on my computer. Which version and OS are you running?

For anyone facing the above problem, upgrading to ggtern_1.0.3.2 and ggplot2_1.0.0 fixes this issue…

I copied-pasted the Hello-World code in RStudio (Version 0.99.892) using ggplot2 2.1.0 and ggtern 2.0.1, but I get this error message
Error in FUN(X[[i]], …) : attempt to apply non-function
Can you help me understanding what’s wrong?

Giorgio, I am aware of this error, which has happened since ggplot2 2.1.0, I’m in the process of completing an update. The only workaround right now is to roll-back to ggplot2 2.0. Appologies for any inconvenience.

These errors have been fixed in the most recent version, ggtern 2.1.0

With ggplot2 2.1.0 and ggtern 2.1.0 this Hello-World example is now working again (R 3.2.1, Ubuntu 14.04).

Hi. I’ve just updated all my packages and am still getting the error. Error in FUN(X[[3L]], …) : attempt to apply non-function. Must I revert back to the old ggplot2, or has the issue been solved? I’m not sure why I’m having problems now when I could run this earlier.
