People have been encountering similar issues while trying to install export_png() of ggvis 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I have followed the instalation of vega through node.js.

here is my code:

library(ggvis) 
mtcars %>% ggvis(~hp, ~mpg, fill=~factor(cyl)) %>% layer_smooths() %>% export_png()

And this is the outcome:

Writing to file plot.png
undefined:3
return x["data"]["domain"];
                ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'domain' of undefined

  • `This requires that the external program vg2png is installed. This is part of the vega node.js module.` from the documentation on export_png http://rpackages.ianhowson.com/cran/ggvis/man/export_png.html – Cyrus Mohammadian Aug 19 '16 at 00:12
  • also this is a duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29411999/install-v2png-program-from-vega-node-js-module-on-windows and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27674431/exporting-ggvis-plot-with-grouped-data and – Cyrus Mohammadian Aug 19 '16 at 00:13
  • But I have Vega installed the problem seem, something else. – Mario GS Aug 19 '16 at 00:17
  • I would add your `sessionInfo()` – Cyrus Mohammadian Aug 19 '16 at 00:18
  • Thanks, @CyrusMohammadian. It must be something else, because, when vega/v2png is not installed, the error is like this: Error in vega_file(vis, file = file, type = "png") : Conversion program vg2pngnot found. – Mario GS Aug 19 '16 at 00:27
  • @CyrusMohammadian posting links to questions with no answers as duplicate targets is quite useless imo – Jaap Aug 31 '16 at 09:51
