I’m inexperience but am trying to get my head around using functions to make a
number of ggplots easier to do.
I have a function that creates a ggplot taking one input variable as an
argument. The variable name is shorthand for the actual variable (variable name
= tue, Actual name = Tuesday). Since I want to use the actual variable name in
ylab and ggtitle, I’d like to add a second argument, new.name, to the function
which would allow me to utilize both inputs as arguments but have not been
successful. I tried creating a function within the function to accomplish
this, using deparse(substitute(new.name))and also using the code you see below.
myfun <- function(myvar, new.name){
function(new.name){return(as.character(substitute(new.name)))}
ggplot(b12.2, aes(x= games, y = myvar, col = Group))+
geom_point() +
geom_line()+
xlab("Minimum Games" ) +
ylab(paste(new.name, “Average Change"))+
ggtitle(new.name, "Change \n as a Function of Minimum Number of Games”)+
theme_bw()
When call myfun(myvar, new.name), I get an error msg “new.name is not found”
whether I call new.name or Tuesday.
I want ggplot to automatically insert Tuesday into ylab and ggtitle.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your patience.
