Question

I have following code which works as is, but does not work when cache=T
Changing device does not make a difference (default, tikz, cairo)

% \SweaveOpts{fig.path=cache/figure/plot-,cache.path=cache/data/data-,fig.align=center,external=TRUE,fig.show=hold,cache=TRUE,echo=FALSE,pdfcrop=TRUE}

<<message=F,fig.width=9,fig.height=6,out.width=\textwidth,cache=F>>=
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(2,9))) 

d <- ncol(rTSc)
p <- ggplot(melt(coveig),aes(1:d,value,group=variable,col=variable))  + 
  geom_line() + labs(x="index",y="eigenvalue") + 
  opts(legend.position = "none")  
print(p, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=1,layout.pos.col=1:4))
p <- ggplot(melt(coreig),aes(1:d,value,group=variable,col=variable)) + 
  geom_line() + labs(x="index",y="eigenvalue")
print(p, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=1,layout.pos.col=5:9))

p <- ggplot(melt(coveig.cs),aes(1:d,value,group=variable,col=variable)) + 
  geom_line() + labs(x="index",y="cumulative eigenvalue") + 
  opts(legend.position = "none")
print(p, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=2,layout.pos.col=1:4))
p <- ggplot(melt(coreig.cs),aes(1:d,value,group=variable,col=variable)) + 
  geom_line() + labs(x="index",y="cumulative eigenvalue")
print(p, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=2,layout.pos.col=5:9))
@ 

Why would this be the case?
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Seems like redefining p is what’s borking up the cache. Try saving the images as seperate plots, and then push them to the viewport one at a time. (It also makes for clearer code).

grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(2,9))) 

p1 <- ggplot(dat, aes(x,y)) + geom_point()
p2 <- ggplot(dat, aes(y,x)) + geom_point()

print(p1, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=1,layout.pos.col=1:9))
print(p2, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=2,layout.pos.col=1:9))
