Why can't I find the CSV file location for "diamonds" dataset in RStudio?


I'm a fairly experienced R learner right now(for a beginner level), but I am having trouble getting the diamonds dataset as a csv file from the ggplot2 package.

Although I can see it in the environment pane in RStudio for ggplot2 package, I cannot find its file location as a CSV file to import into my working directory.

When in the environment pane, I have tried to Import Dataset, but it doesn't let me select the diamonds dataset from the Data list.

I have also tried finding it's location in the actual Files pane, going into: /cloud/lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.2, and then into ggplot2, but cannot find the dataset as CSV there anywhere.

Please help with this. I know the answer must be hiding in plane site...


Solution

  • To access the diamonds dataset, use the below code.

    library(ggplot2)
    data(diamonds)
    

    Additionally, using write.csv() will allow you to write a copy of diamonds to your current working directory.

    write.csv(diamonds, "mydata.csv")
