Error in plot.default(...) : formal argument "axes" matched by multiple actual arguments

[swaheera]

I am trying to follow the instructions from this website : https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/bivariate/vignettes/bivariate.pdf (page 14)

To replicate the above styles of plots.

I tried to make my own data for this:

e.g.

a = rnorm(100,100,100)
b = rnorm(100,100,100)
c = rnorm(100,100,100)
d = data.frame(a,b,c)

 plot (d, theme="blue",
        axes = c (TRUE, FALSE), xat = c (-1.5, 1.5) )

But this produces the following error:

Error in plot.default(...) : 
  formal argument "axes" matched by multiple actual arguments

I tried removing one of the variables:

d$c = NULL

 plot (d, theme="blue",
            axes = c (TRUE, FALSE), xat = c (-1.5, 1.5) )

But this produces a different graph, not the one I want

Can someone please tell me why my visualizations are not looking like the ones from the tutorial?

If you look at "f" in the example, it is not a data frame. It is a complex function with 6 slots. The plot function is not the base plot either. It is calling "plot.BV" within the package.

Thank you for your reply!

I tried the following code:

a = rnorm(100,100,100)
b = rnorm(100,100,100)
c = rnorm(100,100,100)
d = data.frame(a,b,c)

plot.BV(d, theme="blue",
      axes = c (TRUE, FALSE), xat = c (-1.5, 1.5) )

But i still get a similar error:

Error in UseMethod("bv.plotf") : 
  no applicable method for 'bv.plotf' applied to an object of class "data.frame"

Do you know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

You are still passing a data frame to the plot.BV function. As pointed out by @D.H.Slone, that function takes an object of the class returned by the bmbvpdf function. As the error message says, plot.BV does not know what to do with a data frame. You need to make an object with bmbvpdf() and pass that to the plot function.
