R help - Mar 2008 - plotting zoo object

x<-read.zoo("textconnection", sep=",", format=
"%Y", header=TRUE)
plot(x)

#this plots all of the years by each month.  I would like to plot one
long time series from 1968 to 1971
#is there an easy way to do this?  I can reformat the data in excel so
that the index will be year then month, but this will take a while.
the end goal is #to be able to apply some signal processing things
like spectral density after fitting the seasonal trend etc.
thanks

Please use dput(x) to display data in your posts in easily copied form.

Try this:

library(zoo)
z <- zoo(matrix(1:48, 4, dimnames = list(NULL, month.abb)), 1968:1971)
zz <- zooreg(c(coredata(z)), start = as.yearmon(1968), freq = 12)

You could also consider  using a ts series:

tt <- as.ts(zz)

This is only the second time that I remember haveing
even seen a reference to dput(). The first time was
about 3-4 days ago in something of a throw-away
comment.

Should it be in the posting guide and FAQ etc as a
guide to new users?

The posting guide mentions dump() for this purpose purpose (the
main difference being that the object name is written for dump() but not
for dput()). ?dump also links to ?dput so I guess that having dump() in
the posting guide should be sufficient.

Ah so it does. I must have missed it entirely.  Thanks
