Error: Argument 20 matches multiple formal arguments in venn.diagram function

I'm very new to the venn.diagram() function, and am trying to create a simple venn diagram. Here is the data I am using:

structure(list(Transmitter = c("1657", "1657", "1658", "1659", 
"1659", "1660", "1660", "1661", "1662", "1663", "1663", "1664",

), Direction = structure(c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 
1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 
1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("Marine", 
"River"), class = "factor")), row.names = c(NA, -164L), class = "data.frame")

I want to create a venn diagram with a circle for each direction. Inside each circle is a number indicating the number of transmitters that are considered 'river', 'marine' or both.

This is some code I modified from a website:

install.packages('VennDiagram')
library(VennDiagram)

venn.diagram(
  x = list(
    lasts2WOFD %>% filter(Direction == 'Marine') %>% select(Transmitter) %>% unlist() , 
    lasts2WOFD %>% filter(Direction == 'River') %>% select(Transmitter) %>% unlist()
  ),
  category.names = c("Marine" , "Fresh"),
  filename = 'VennDiagram',
  output = TRUE ,
  imagetype="png" ,
  height = 480 , 
  width = 480 , 
  resolution = 300,
  compression = "lzw",
  lwd = 1,
  col=c("#440154ff", '#21908dff'),
  fill = c(alpha("#440154ff",0.3), alpha('#21908dff',0.3)),
  cex = 0.5,
  fontfamily = "sans",
  cat.cex = 0.3,
  cat.default.pos = "outer",
  cat.pos = c(-27, 27),
  cat.dist = c(0.055, 0.055),
  cat.fontfamily = "sans",
  cat.col = c("#440154ff", '#21908dff'),
  rotation = 1
)

When run, I get this error:

Error in VennDiagram::draw.pairwise.venn(area1 = length(x[[1]]), area2 = length(x[[2]]),  : 
  argument 20 matches multiple formal arguments

Regarding your question, I had a look at the source code of VennDiagram and I saw that rotation is part of venn.diagram, but not of draw.pairwise.venn. The parameter gets passed but cannot be used. Simply remove rotation=1 and it should work.

I understand this does not answer your question, but I just wanted to let you know that you can get the diagram with other packages. My nVennR package can do that in a couple of steps. If your object is called lasts2WOFD,

>library(nVennR)
>myV <- plotVenn(list(River=subset(lasts2WOFD, Direction == "River")$Transmitter, Marine=subset(lasts2WOFD, Direction == "Marine")$Transmitter))

The result would be:

Pairwise Venn diagram

You can control the output as explained in the vignette. You can also export a vectorial svg file that you can edit afterwards.
