#I copy the previous data then in R
dat=readLines("clipboard")
options(digits.secs=6)
tmp=unlist(lapply(dat,function(x){unlist(strsplit(x,"\\
+",perl=TRUE))[3:5]}))
tmp=matrix(tmp,ncol=3,byrow=TRUE)
tmp=cbind(paste(tmp[,1],tmp[,2]),tmp[,3])
time=strptime(tmp[,1], format="%Y-%j %H:%M:%OS")
value=as.numeric(tmp[,2])
plot(time,value)
#How can I show in the x axis the complete time values including the
decimals.
Thanks a lot
N.B.: I am running the lastest version of R and using it under Windows XP

Hi, I'd suggest you use dotchart() instead of plot(). I believe this is what you expected: dotchart(value, time) Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Phone: +86-(0)10-82509086 Fax: +86-(0)10-82509086 Mobile: +86-15810805877 Homepage: http://www.yihui.name School of Statistics, Room 1037, Mingde Main Building, Renmin University of China, Beijing, 100872, China On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 3:10 AM, S?bastien Durand <sebastien.durand at cidco.ca> wrote:> Hello, > > I have the following data and I try to properly > import it in R and plot the 4th column relative to time > > 1 2008-249 17:44:17.973 -2.27 00000000: Accepted > 2 2008-249 17:44:18.014 -2.28 00000000: Accepted > 3 2008-249 17:44:18.064 -2.29 00000000: Accepted > 4 2008-249 17:44:18.123 -2.29 00000000: Accepted > 5 2008-249 17:44:18.174 -2.29 00000000: Accepted > 6 2008-249 17:44:18.225 -2.29 00000000: Accepted > 7 2008-249 17:44:18.274 -2.28 00000000: Accepted > 8 2008-249 17:44:18.325 -2.28 00000000: Accepted > 9 2008-249 17:44:18.375 -2.28 00000000: Accepted > 10 2008-249 17:44:18.424 -2.27 00000000: Accepted > 11 2008-249 17:44:18.475 -2.26 00000000: Accepted > 12 2008-249 17:44:18.514 -2.24 00000000: Accepted > 13 2008-249 17:44:18.565 -2.23 00000000: Accepted > 14 2008-249 17:44:18.615 -2.20 00000000: Accepted > 15 2008-249 17:44:18.674 -2.17 00000000: Accepted > 16 2008-249 17:44:18.725 -2.15 00000000: Accepted > 17 2008-249 17:44:18.774 -2.12 00000000: Accepted > 18 2008-249 17:44:18.825 -2.09 00000000: Accepted > 19 2008-249 17:44:18.875 -2.06 00000000: Accepted > 20 2008-249 17:44:18.925 -2.03 00000000: Accepted > 21 2008-249 17:44:18.975 -2.00 00000000: Accepted > 22 2008-249 17:44:19.026 -1.97 00000000: Accepted > 23 2008-249 17:44:19.055 -1.95 00000000: Accepted > > #I copy the previous data then in R dat=readLines("clipboard") > options(digits.secs=6) > tmp=unlist(lapply(dat,function(x){unlist(strsplit(x,"\\ > +",perl=TRUE))[3:5]})) > tmp=matrix(tmp,ncol=3,byrow=TRUE) > tmp=cbind(paste(tmp[,1],tmp[,2]),tmp[,3]) > time=strptime(tmp[,1], format="%Y-%j %H:%M:%OS") > value=as.numeric(tmp[,2]) > plot(time,value) > #How can I show in the x axis the complete time values including the > decimals. > > Thanks a lot > > N.B.: I am running the lastest version of R and using it under Windows XP > > S. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >
Sorry, I thought the time values were equal-spaced...
