我使用tryCatch很多来捕获我的R代码中的潜在错误消息,但我今天遇到了一个奇怪的问题ggplot - 我真的不知道发生了什么事情(即使经过一段时间Google/SO搜索)。tryCatch和ggplot

简单实例与不完全ggplot呼叫(无添加层):

> tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), error = function(e) e) 
Error: No layers in plot 

所以误差不会捕获。更:我得到R对象与ggplot类:

> str(tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), error = function(e) e)) 
List of 8 
$ data  :'data.frame': 32 obs. of 11 variables:

    ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "null" "facet" 
$ plot_env :<environment: R_GlobalEnv> 
- attr(*, "class")= chr "ggplot" 

任何想法捕捉到这些样的错误?


更新:我知道的一个事实,即上面的调用可能会在某些情况下,OK(像后来添加层)。但是,那么请考虑下面的例子(请注意,我们有一个错字有:t提供在y轴代替wt):

> tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=t)) + geom_point()')), error = function(e) e) 
Error in data.frame(x = c(110, 110, 93, 110, 175, 105, 245, 62, 95, 123, : 
    arguments imply differing number of rows: 32, 0 

我得到错误信息,但是这不是tryCatch抓获。

这是因为在通话不发生ggplot的错误,但在调用print.ggplot

所以你tryCatch作品,但错误尝试打印时只是后来发生。这意味着你必须把tryCatch围绕print声明:

试试这个:

x <- tryCatch(eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=wt))')), 
       error = function(e) e) 
tryCatch(print(x), error = function(e) e) 
<simpleError: No layers in plot> 

并为您的第二个例子:

x <- eval(parse(text = 'ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=t)) + geom_point()')) 
tryCatch(print(x), error = function(e) e) 

<simpleError in data.frame(x = c(110, 110, 93, 110, 175, 105, 245, 62, 95, 123, 123, 180, 180, 180, 205, 215, 230, 66, 52, 65, 97, 150, 150, 245, 175, 66, 91, 113, 264, 175, 335, 109), y = structure(function (x) standardGeneric("t"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), package = "base", group = list(), valueClass = character(0), signature = "x", default = structure(function (x) UseMethod("t"), target = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), defined = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), class = structure("derivedDefaultMethod", package = "methods")), skeleton = structure(function (x) UseMethod("t"), target = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), defined = structure("ANY", class = structure("signature", package = "methods"), .Names = "x", package = "methods"), generic = structure("t", package = "base"), class = structure("derivedDefaultMethod", package = "methods"))(x), class = structure("standardGeneric", package = "methods")),  PANEL = c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,  1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L,  1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), check.names = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE): arguments imply differing number of rows: 32, 0>

真棒,非常感谢!我怎么会错过这个? :) 看过你的第一行后,这很明显,但这个问题在那之前给了我几个小时的头痛。所以总之:再次感谢:) – daroczig 2012-08-02 16:54:58

很高兴我能帮忙!有时候我们可能会太接近代码... – Andrie 2012-08-02 16:59:37
