because the time starts at JAN_08 and ends on DEC_09, how to make the

You do not provide a reproducible example, as the posting guide asks you to. But I guess that your time series setup using ts() is insufficient, see ?ts. If the data starts in January 2008, why do you tell R that it starts in 1? Presumably you have monthly data and unem1 <- ts(unem$a, start = c(2008, 1), freq = 12) plot(unem1, type = "o") is what you want. hth, Z On Wed, 14 Jul 2010, linda.s wrote:> R Code begins > unem=read.csv("book5.csv",header=T,row.names=1) > attach(unem) > unem1=ts(unem$a, start=1) > ts.plot(unem1,main="a") > points(unem1,type="o") > R Code ends > > because the time starts at JAN_08 and ends on DEC_09, how to make the > y axis in the plot show month starting from JAN_08 instead of having > the current > ugly appearance (5, 10, 15, 20,?)? > > On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 9:20 AM, linda.s <samrobertsmith at gmail.com> wrote: >> R Code begins >> unem=read.csv("book5.csv",header=T,row.names=1) >> attach(unem) >> unem1=ts(unem$Allen, start=1) >> ts.plot(unem1,main="Allen") >> points(unem1,type="o") >> R Code ends >> >> because the time starts at JAN_08 and ends on DEC_09, how to make the >> y axis in the plot show month starting from JAN_08 instead of having >> the current >> ugly appearance (5, 10, 15, 20,?)? >> >
The X axis on the plot now starts from 2008.0; Since the data starts from January 2008, can I make it 2008.1, and also show 2009.12 on the axis? Thanks.
