[R] Help with charting time in seconds as HH:MM:SS on charts
Hello, I am dealing with data stored in a database as a 'time' object. I export the data from the database to a text file and utilize the 'time_to_sec()' function of the database to convert the human readable time (HH:MM:SS) to seconds so that I can use R to do analysis and create charts of the data. I do not need or use days or dates in the data, and the data range is from 07:00:00 to 18:00:00 or 25200-64800 seconds. However when I visualize the data in charts I do not want a scale that runs from 25200-64800 seconds, but rather in the HH:MM:SS format. Is there a relatively straight-forward and easy to use way to do this? Thanks, Tony
