Dear List, I am trying to plot date vs. time, but am having problems getting my y-axis labels how I want them.? When left on its own R plots time at 6 hour intervals from 03:00 to 23:00.? I am wanting 6 hour intervals from 2:00 to 22:00.? I realize yaxp doesn't work in plot(), so I am trying to get it to work in par().? However, now I get the ticks where I want them but the time is output

Dear List, I would like to create several graphs of similar data. I have x and y values for several different individuals (in this case fish). I would like to plot the x and y values for each fish separately. I can do it using a for loop, but I think I should be using "apply". Please let me know what I am doing wrong, or if there is a "better" way to do this. What I have

Dear List, I am having problems converting a file with fractional seconds to class POSIXct. I have set my options to include digits.secs and my format to just time, but my output is the current date with my time lacking the fractions of a second. For example: options(digits.secs=3) t<-c("06:00:00.100","06:00:01.231") myt<-as.POSIXct(t,format="%H:%M:%S")

Dear List, Is there a color palette avaliable similar to what is used in satellite ocean color imagery? I.e. a gradient with blue on one end and red on the other, with yellow in the middle? I have tried topo.colors(n) but that comes out more yellow on the end. I am looking for something similar to what is found on the CoastWatch web page:

Dear List, I need some help in coming up with a function that will take two data sets, determine if a value is missing in one, find a value in the second that was taken at about the same time, and substitute the second value in for where the first should have been. My problem is from a fish tracking study. We put acoustic tags in fish and track them for several days. Location data is supposed

Dear List, I have a data frame of data taken every few seconds. I would like to subset the data to retain only the data taken on the quarter hour, and as close to the quarter hour as possible. So far I have figured out how to subset the data to the quarter hour, but not how to keep only the minimum time for each quarter hour. For example:

I need some help with sub-setting my data.  I am trying to divide a data frame into multiple data frames based on the year collected, and stored in a list with each new data frame labeled with "year X" where X is the year the data was collected.  When I run my current code I get nine error messages stating "In one_year[name] <- myear :  number of items to replace is not a

Dear R help list, ? I am working on some data from a study on the habitat use and movement patterns of fish using a marine protected area in Hawaii.? We have a number of acoustic receivers in a MPA, and any time a tagged fish passes within range it records the date and time of detection.? I am trying to make bubble plots?showing the number of detections for each fish at each receiver.? I have been

Dear List, I am trying to do model averaging for a negative binomial model using the package AICcmodavg. I need to use glm() since the package does not accept glm.nb() models. I can get glm() to work if I first run glm.nb and take theta from that model, but is there a simpler way to estimate theta for the glm model? The two models are: mod.nb<-glm.nb(mantas~site,data=mydata)

Hello, All: ????? Roughly a decade ago, I added "matplot.Date" and "matplot.POSIXct" to the "fda" package, so we could get reasonable labeling of the horizontal axis when "x" was class "Date" or "POSIXct".? I also added a local version of "matplot.default" that just changes the defaults for "xlab" and

Dear list, I just had a function (as.ltraj in Adehabitat) give me the following error: "Error in as.ltraj(xy, id, date = da) : non unique dates for a given burst" I checked my dates and got the following: > dupes<-mydata$DateTime[duplicated(mydata$DateTime)] > dupes [1] (07/30/02 00:00:00) (08/06/03 17:45:00) Is there a reason different dates would come up as duplicate

Can you provide an example? ????? The standard matplot application that concerns me is with matplot(x, y, ...) where x has class Date or

Hi, Matplot works with x being Date class but not POSIXt. Here is the example with R version 2.5.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-12-06 r40129) Example: x <- Sys.Date() - c(1:10) y <- cbind(1:10, 10:1) class(x) ## [1] "Date" matplot(x, y) x <- strptime(as.character(x), format="%Y-%m-%d") ## [1] "POSIXt" "POSIXlt" matplot(x, y) Error in

Hi list, I know that points involving NAs are not plotted in 'matplot', but when I plot them as lines, I still want the lines to connect all the points (i.e. not broken where there are NAs).? Please see the example below.? How can I achieve this in 'matplot'?? If I can't, any good alternatives so I don't have to use 'plot' + 'lines' and loop through all the

Hello R users -- I am using matplot to prepare graphs and cannot find a way to use (for example) box(lwd=3) within the matplot command and instead have been setting the box line width after drawing the graph, by using box(lwd = 3). Looking over the ?par options and the matplot() help I do not see a way to set box width within matplot. Is there such an option? Thanks for suggestions,

Dear List, I am having a problem with dates and I would like to understand what is going on. Below is an example. I can produce a date/time using as.POSIXct, but I am trying to combine two as.POSIXct objects and keep getting strange results. I thought I was using the wrong origin, but according to structure(0,class="Date") I am not (see below). In my example a is a simple date/time

Hi, I apologise in advance for the na?ve question. I have large matrices that I want to plot. I currently use color2D.matplot. However, these matrices contain many values of no interest (i.e. where there is no data, the figure -999 is automatically displayed). Is there any way of removing these from the matrices to be plotted by matplot? An obvious possibility is setting them all to 0, but that

Hi, I finally came up with a nice colored matrixplot, using the color2D.matplot function of the plotrix package. But I can't assign xtics and ytics to this plot. I made sure that the matrix has correct colnames() and rownames(). Here's what I do: a=matrix(1:16, 4, 4) colnames(a) <- c("X1", "X2", "X3", X4) rownames(a) <- c("Y1",

I am using color2D.matplot to plot a matrix about 400 by 200. The values in the matrix are 0:5 and NA. The resulting plot is not color, but shaded b/w. I tried to figure out how to add colors, I would like something like c(blue, green, red, cyan, green) #example motifx <- matrix(NA, nrow=100,ncol=20) motifx[,1:5] <- 1 motifx[,6:10] <- 2 motifx[,11:15] <- 3 motifx[,15:19] <- 4
