All, My first time with the ts objects and functions (and low-level plot functions) and I need a little help. I have some food security data (proportion of HHs with stocks until the end of a given month) and want to plot that. Here is what I have: WheatI <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.97, 0.97, 0.87, 0.74, 0.64, 0.51, 0.28, 0.26, 0.18, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) WheatR <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.79, 0.51, 0.38, 0.13, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) BarleyI <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.41, 0.31, 0.31, 0.21, 0.05, 0.03, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) BarleyR <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.33, 0.18, 0.13, 0.10, 0.03, 0.03, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00) Potatoes <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.62, 0.59, 0.59, 0.59, 0.51, 0.51, 0.15, 0.15, 0.13, 0.05, 0.03) Vegetables <- c(0.00, 0.00, 0.16, 0.16, 0.16, 0.21, 0.19, 0.19, 0.19, 0.16, 0.14, 0.06, 0.05, 0.05, 0.04, 0.01) Fodder <- c(0.00, 0.09, 0.16, 0.19, 0.17, 0.18, 0.15, 0.13, 0.12, 0.09, 0.06, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.00, 0.00) df <- cbind(WheatI, WheatR, BarleyI, BarleyR, Potatoes, Vegetables, Fodder) x <- ts(df, start = c(2001, 4), frequency = 12) plot(x, ylim = c(0,1)) I have a few questions: 1. How do I get year and month labels on the x-axis (more generally I am having trouble setting the number of ticks to the number of periods). At present I get base 10 rather than base 12 labels. 2. How do I get them to plot in seven horizontal panes one above the other (i.e. a single column of plot)? 3. How can I change the number of ticks and take out the first and last y-axix tick labels. 4. is there a simple way of changing the y-axis labels So that (e.g.) WheatI becomes (irrigated Wheat)? I have tried RTFM-input but have confused myself.
