abstracting to facets

[thomasjwood]

I hesitate to ask this, given how quickly you responded (over the weekend!) to my request via twitter, but here goes--is it much work to allow statebins to accept a facet_wrap or facet_grid argument?

[hrbrmstr]

they aren't technically geom's … but … since I added in a geom for the rounded corners, it got me thinking that adding a a "statebins" Stat and Geom wld not be a bad idea.

I'll keep you posted as it's def a gd idea.

[hrbrmstr]

So, something like…

library(statebins)
library(cdcfluview)
library(hrbrthemes)
library(tidyverse)

flu <- ili_weekly_activity_indicators(2017)

ggplot(flu, aes(state=statename, fill=activity_level)) +
  geom_statebins() +
  coord_equal() +
  viridis::scale_fill_viridis(
    name = "ILI Activity Level  ", limits=c(0,10), breaks=0:10, option = "magma", direction = -1
  ) +
  facet_wrap(~weekend) +
  labs(title="2017-18 Flu Season ILI Activity Level") +
  theme_statebins(base_family = font_ps) +
  theme(plot.title=element_text(size=16, hjust=0)) +
  theme(plot.margin = margin(30,30,30,30))

?

Bravo! I think it's a very meaningful improvement.

Thx. I literally (as I hit ENTER) just pushed this up so if you get a chance to kick the tyres any and all feedback wld be greatly appreciated. Was a quick but pretty thorough hack this AM :-)

[thomasjwood]

Will do!

When I attempt to replicate the flu facets above, with

ggplot(flu, aes(state=statename, fill=activity_level)) +
  geom_statebins() +
  coord_equal() +
  viridis::scale_fill_viridis(
name = "ILI Activity Level  ", limits=c(0,10), breaks=0:10, option = "magma", direction = -1) +
  facet_wrap(~weekend) +
  labs(title="2017-18 Flu Season ILI Activity Level") +
  theme_statebins(base_family = font_ps) +
  theme(plot.title=element_text(size=16, hjust=0)) +
  theme(plot.margin = margin(30,30,30,30))

I get

Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, mode) :
  cannot open compressed file '/tmp/setupdata.rds', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

[hrbrmstr]

hrm. let me work up an example that doesn't depend on cdcfluview

[hrbrmstr]

give

library(tidyverse)

rownames_to_column(USArrests, "state") %>% 
  tbl_df() %>% 
  gather(crime, value, -state) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(state=state, fill=value)) +
  geom_statebins() +
  facet_wrap(~crime) +
  coord_equal() +
  labs(title="ggCrime") +
  scale_fill_distiller(palette="Reds") +
  theme_statebins()

a go

[thomasjwood]

same error message:

Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In gzfile(file, mode) :
  cannot open compressed file '/tmp/setupdata.rds', probable reason 'No such file or directory'

and just because I'm a klutz, the data prep part on USArrests works ok:

rownames_to_column(USArrests, "state") %>% 
   tbl_df() %>% 
   gather(crime, value, -state) %>% 
# A tibble: 2 x 3
    state  crime value
    <chr>  <chr> <dbl>
1 Alabama Murder  13.2
2  Alaska Murder  10.0

[hrbrmstr]

Sounds like the pkg had a busted install. may want to try reinstalling again. I'll try an install on a cpl other machines a bit later today.

I'm also getting the same error ('/tmp/setupdata.rds': no such file or directory). The first time may have been because of a bad install. After reinstalling, I didn't get any warnings or error messages and the install ended with SUCCESS, but I'm still getting the same error.

[thomasjwood]

same, a reinstall still results

Error in gzfile(file, mode) : cannot open the connection

[haroldgil]

In both the cdcfluview and USArrests examples, the error (cannot open compressed file '/tmp/setupdata.rds') is triggered at the "+ geom_statebins()" step.

[haroldgil]

I've been looking at the line saveRDS(xdat, "/tmp/setupdata.rds") in geom-statebins.R. I noticed that my local statebins package folder doesn't have a folder named "tmp". Creating it manually doesn't get rid of the error. So I'm wondering if one of the issues has to do with the first forward slash in the target directory.

Example:
x <- "abc"
saveRDS(x, "/tmp/setupdata.rds") does not work for me, but
saveRDS(x, "tmp/setupdata.rds") does (after manually creating a folder 'tmp' in my working directory). Maybe this has to do with me being on a Windows machine.

[haroldgil]

I forked the statebins repo, made the substitution described above [to saveRDS(x, "tmp/setupdata.rds") ], installed the edited version of the package, and now both code examples (flu and USArrests) discussed above work for me. I'll submit a Pull Request with the change in a minute.
