Why does coord_proj and ggplot2 give me this error?

Question

So I have been using a fairly basic process for plotting number of participants onto a global map.

map <- map_data("world")
p <-ggplot()
p <- ggplot()+geom_polygon(data=map,aes(x=long, y=lat, group = group),fill="#4a4a49")
opt <- theme(legend.position="none",
axis.ticks=element_blank(),
axis.title=element_blank(),
axis.text =element_blank())
p <- p+
     geom_point(aes(x=lon, y=lat, size=log10), data=hs_mapping_latlon, col="#ffcd00", alpha=0.7)
p <- p+ 
     theme_map()+opt

This all worked fine until recently. Particularly, if I want to use a Winkel tripel projection using the following code:

q <- p+ 
     coord_proj("+proj=wintri")

I get the following error.

Coordinate system already present. Adding new coordinate system, which will replace the existing one.

The odd thing is that this works on my mac, but has just recently stopped working on my main windows pc. I can still run that code fine on my mac. I have tried uninstalling r + packages and reinstalling, but I keep getting this error... which is really fustrating

Any help or advice welcome

P.S. My hs_mapping_latlon dataframe is basically just country (country name), freq (number of responses), log10 (log of responses), lat (lattitude), lon (longitude)

Answer 1

I'll prefix this by saying I don't quite understand how ggplot2 internals work, The problem appears to be due to a change made to ggplot2 between version 3.2.1 and 3.3.0

---

In particular this line here in 3.2.1:

https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/blob/v3.2.1/R/coord-flip.r#L54

Has been changed in 3.3.0:

https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/blob/v3.3.0/R/coord-flip.r#L54

The new call subsequently seems to call this function, which aborts with the error you are seeing <error/rlang_error> Not implemented

https://github.com/tidyverse/ggplot2/blame/660aad2db2b3495ae0d8040915a40d247133ffc0/R/coord-.r#L82

It may be worth creating an issue in the ggplot2 repo on github, about this bug.

For now however, you'll likely be best off by running

remotes::install_version('ggplot2', version = '3.2.1')
