I do not think as.vector does what you think it does... all data in R is some kind of vector.

xx

I highly recommend that you (re-)read the Introduction to R document with data types in mind, and read the help pages for each function that you use... in particular about what data types can be used for each parameter. (That said, the help pages for ggplot are necessary but not sufficient... you need to supplement with the book and/or lots of examples/training.)
