[R] Plotting POSIXct data: Is this error message for real?
platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 6.2 year 2003 month 01 day 10 language R>> x <- paste(1:28, "/02/03", sep = "") > xct <- as.POSIXct(strptime(x, "%d/%m/%y")) > count <- rpois(28, 5) > plot(xct, count, ylab = "something")Warning message: parameter "ylab" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function Even though "ylab" can't be set, the resulting plot does succeed. Compare with:> plot(as.numeric(xct), count, ylab = "something")No error (but of course, the x axis isn't much use). Should the warning really be given? best -- Patrick Connolly HortResearch Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand Ph: +64-9 815 4200 x 7188 ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.
