Hello,
I'm plotting an xyplot where a continuous var recorded every min is plotted
on y, and time expressed as HH:MM:SS on x, as follows :
xaxis=list(tick.number=12,rot=90)
lst=list(x=xaxis)
xyplot(upt$LOAD_1 ~ upt$TIME, data=upt, type=c('g','p',
'r'), scales=lst)
On the x-axis, every time label is drawn and the label quickly become
unreadable as they overlap on each other.
I wished to limit the number of label with 'tick.number=12' but it does
not
work as the x values are not treated as a numerical sequence.
How can I limit the number of ticks and labels for a time series expressed
as HH:MM:SS ?
One way might be to convert to mins from an origin, the result would be less
expressive though.
Thank you for any help.

Have you tried using a date-time class? -Deepayan
I have attached 2 files sample.csv and sample.r to illustrate the problem. Thank you for considering. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Customize-axis-labels-in-xyplot-tp24126788p24143742.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I found indeed that there were no attachements yesterday and corrected the mistake. They are in my previous post. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Customize-axis-labels-in-xyplot-tp24126788p24180049.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
