similar to: plot.POSIXct

I am finding that axis.POSIXct uses the local timezone for deciding where to put tic marks, even if the data being plotted are in another time zone. The solution is to use attr() to copy from the 'x' (provided as an argument) to the 'z' (used for the 'at' locations). I have pasted my proposed solution in section 1 below (as a diff). Then, in section 2, I'll put some

I recently called plot(x,y) where x was an array of POSIXct timestamps, and was pleasantly surprised that it produced a nice plot right out of the box: z <- as.POSIXct(c("2006-10-26 08:00:00 EDT","2007-10-25 12:00:00 EDT")) x <- seq(z[1],z[2],len=100) y <- 1:100 plot(x,y,type="l") The X axis had nice labels, one tick mark every other month.

Have you noticed any problems with big dates (>=1/1/2040) in R? Here is the bit of code that I'm having trouble with: > test.date <- strptime("1/1/2040",format="%m/%d/%Y") > > unlist(test.date) sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst 0 0 0 1 0 140 0 0 0 > > date.plus.one <- as.POSIXct(test.date) +

Although the documentation is somewhat sketchy, I() can be used to create objects of class AsIs: > I("a") [1] "a" attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "character" > I(4) [1] 4 attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "numeric" > I(4 + 0i) [1] 4+0i attr(,"class") [1] "AsIs" "complex" > This

Dear All, what determines if a difference between POSIXct objects gets expressed in days or seconds? In the following example, it's sometimes seconds, sometimes days. as.POSIXct('2009-09-01') - as.POSIXct(NA) Time difference of NA secs c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct(NA)) - c(as.POSIXct('2009-09-01'), as.POSIXct('2009-08-31')) Time differences in

R developers, The "tzone" attribute is stripped from a POSIXct object when the subscript command is called ("[.POISXct"). This results in dates being printed in the locale specific format after a subscript operation is applied to a POSIXct object which has cause several problems for me in the past. Here is an example of this problem under R 1.9.1: > x <-

Full_Name: Gavin Simpson Version: 2.1.0-patched (1-Jun-2005) OS: Linux (Fedora Core 3) Submission from: (NULL) (128.40.32.76) axis.Date() insists on labelling tick marks. It could be made more flexible by allowing the user to specify if they want the ticks to be labelled, for example, to add un-labelled minor ticks for "months", added to a plot with "years" labelled. The user

Dear list: working with date/times I have come across a problem that ISOdate and ISOdatetime are too slow on large vectors of data. I was surprised just until I looked at the implementation and the man page: "ISOdatetime and ISOdate are convenience wrappers for strptime". In other terms, they convert data to character representation first in order to create a POSIXlt object that is then

The return value of Sys.time() today with a timezone of US/Eastern is unchanged between 4.0.3-patched and devel, but on devel the following test fails all.equal(x, as.POSIXlt(x)) with x = Sys.time() This means that devel does not complete make tests (failure on tests/reg-tests-2.R) It is entirely possible that it is an error on my end, I use export TZ="US/Eastern" but I have been

I'm trying to generate POSIXct times in a call to a C function. However, I'm having trouble generating times with the proper offset from UTC. Can anyone offer any help with this issue? I've looked at R-2.0.1/src/main/datetime.c, but I was not able to find an example that I could easily pull from that file. Thanks in advance, Whit Here is my example in C: #include <stdio.h>

Hello, Suppose we need a function that takes a POSIXct object and need to calculate the time difference between it and GMT time: gmtDiff <- function(time) { time.gmt <- as.POSIXct(format(time, tz="GMT")) time.plt <- as.POSIXlt(time) dlstime <- ifelse(time.plt$isdst > 0, 1, 0) timezone <- as.numeric(difftime(time, time.gmt, units="hours"))

A newbie here - please forgive me if this is a basic question. We have an in house package built in R 2.2.1 (yes we're a little behind the times at our firm)and would like to rebuild it using R 2.5.1. However, when I try and build the package from source, I keep getting this error: Error in as(slotVal, slotClass, strict = FALSE) : no method or default for coercing "POSIXt"
