Persistent invalid graphics state error when using ggplot2

Question

I believe my dataframe is okay and my code is okay. In fact, I have eliminated parts of the dataframe and most of the graphing code to make things as basic as possible. But still, I get:

Error in .Call.graphics(C_palette2, .Call(C_palette2, NULL)) : 

  invalid graphics state

What is wrong here? Here is the data:

 date   trt var val

1/8/2008    cc  sw5 0.2684138

1/8/2008    cc  sw15    0.2897586

3/8/2008    ccw sw5 0.2328958

3/8/2008    ccw sw5 0.2868958

When I work with this data, I specify dates like this:

df<-df[order(as.Date(df$date,format="%d/%m/%Y")),,drop=FALSE]

and here I want to make a scatterplot:

ggplot(data = df,aes(x = date,y = val)) + 

 geom_point(aes(group = trt))

Answer 1

To remove this error, run the following command:

dev.off()

If the error still persists, you can restart your R session, or reinstall the ggplot2 package as follows :

install.packages("ggplot2")
