I am trying to run the example from the geom_subplot help page from the ggsubplot package.

library(ggplot2)
devtools::install_github('ggsubplot', 'garrettgman')
library(ggsubplot)

ggplot(nasa) +
  geom_subplot(aes(long, lat, group = id,
    subplot = geom_point(aes(surftemp, temperature), size = 1/4))) +
  coord_map()

And I get the following error:

Error in layout_base(data, vars, drop = drop) : 
  At least one layer must contain all variables used for facetting

This same error occurs with with every ggsubplot example I've tried to run so far. I've tried with both the CRAN and github version of ggsubplot. I would bet this is an incompatibility with the newest version of ggplot2 but I don't know enough about ggplot development to diagnose it myself.

    does `str(nasa)` show a structure with those corresponding fields? – beroe May 05 '14 at 20:19

    Your code runs for me (R 3.0.3 64bit running on Win 7, fresh session). Have you tried restarting R? – jlhoward May 05 '14 at 21:10
  • thanks for the comments, `str(nasa)` is fine, it shows all the necessary columns. And I was able to run my code in R 3.0.3, so this seems to be an issue with ggsubplot and R 3.1.0, or perhaps the version of ggplot2 corresponding to R 3.1.0. – cameron.bracken May 05 '14 at 22:36
  • I had the same problems with R 3.1.0. thank you for sharing! – BBrill May 08 '14 at 23:42
  • I posted an issue in github: https://github.com/garrettgman/ggsubplot/issues/10 – cameron.bracken May 09 '14 at 03:36

It seems that package ggsubplot no longer is maintained.

Message on CRAN (as of 2016-12-23):

Package ‘ggsubplot’ was removed from the CRAN repository.

Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive.

Archived on 2016-01-11 as requested by the maintainer garrett@rstudio.com.

On GitHub (https://github.com/garrettgman/ggsubplot), the last commit dates back to 2015-07-09.

Installation from GitHub under R 3.3.2 with devtools::install_github('garrettgman/ggsubplot') failed with an error message complaining about missing function eval.
