I have this following data frame, df for which I desire to plot a histogram.
x
1 -28313937
2 -218616099
3 -18406124
4 20307666
5 31985283
6 41429217
7 46488567
8 47690792
9 51127321
10 53168291
11 55247883
12 -49200409
13 33398814
14 36198419
15 42765257
16 45857195
17 43870899
18 50557988
19 49574516
20 52317786
21 50769743
I use the following piece of code for plotting the histogram,
R_hist <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x)) +
geom_histogram(binwidth=.5, colour="black", fill="white") +
geom_vline(aes(xintercept=mean(x, na.rm=T)), color="violet", linetype="dashed", size=1)
When I tried to call the object R_hist, I get an Error : cannot allocate vector of size 4.1 Gb In addition: Warning messages: 1: In seq.default(round_any(range[1], size, floor), round_any(range[2], : Reached total allocation of 4021Mb: see help(memory.size)
Could someone please let me know why the histogram is not being plotted as it should here
Thanks.
as indicated in the comments, you're trying to plot a histogram with a bar from the min to max value in df$x.
Instead, use geom_bar and stat='identity':
# grab the data provied
df <- read.table('clipboard')
# switch the names cause it'll bug me
df$y <- df$x
df$x <- row.names(df)
# plot using some identifier (row.names in this case)
ggplot(df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_bar(stat='
