similar to: Tick mark alignment for POSIXct data

I've run into a problem with the datetime axis generated by axis.POSIXct. It appears a similar issue was discussed in October 2003 under the subject line "datetime data and plotting" (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-October/039071.html), but I wasn't able to determine whether there is a straightforward solution. The code below produces a graph with apparently

I have been experimenting with various approaches to plotting (irregular) time-series with reasonable success. One thing I have been able to do is change the number of tick marks on the axis. Consider the following simple example: > x <- as.data.frame(matrix(ncol=2,nrow=500)) > names(x) <- c("dates","values") > x$dates <- as.POSIXct(Sys.time()+1:500*86400)

I have a series of datasets, each containing pH measurements and manufacturing dates, and each dataset pertains to a different manufactured product. I'm trying to create a series of plots of pH measurements by date, but the default X-axis labeling behavior is not giving adequate results in this particular case, and I can't figure out how to persuade R to come up with something more

To Whom It May Concern: The following appears to be a bug in the way POSIXct dates are formated. The example is forced, but occurs naturally when importing Excel type dates (where fractional part is fraction of a day) and small rounding errors result. As shown, looking at the POSIXct class, it looks as if both times are 16:11:03 (truncation) Looking at as.numeric.POSIXct, it looks as if

Hi R-devel. I've noticed a couple of quirks in the current time/date axis functions (axis.Date, axis.POSIXct, and the equivalents in lattice). Looking at the code, it seems like a fairly ad-hoc approach, often using pretty() on components of the time. This is not always ideal - for example a one-hour interval gets cut into 10-minute chunks rather than the more natural 15-minute chunks (since

Hi everyone! This must be a common question but I have not found an answer to it in the archives yet. I am producing four plots with par(mfrow=c(2,2)). The x-axis is the same for all of them but the y-axis is different. What I would like to do is to have a different range of the y-axis and different intervals between tick marks. BUT I would like to have the same number of tick marks and I would

Hi all, I'm having difficulty converting a 'dates' object to a POSIXct object: testDATES<-c(35947,35971,36004,36008,36053,36066) testDATES<-chron(dates=testDATES, format = c(dates = "m/d/y"), origin=c(month = 12, day = 30, year = 1899)) >[1] 06/01/98 06/25/98 07/28/98 08/01/98 09/15/98 09/28/98 > as.POSIXct(testDATES) [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA

Dear R users, I am struggling a bit with the converting dates to full POSIX timestamps, in particular, I would like to somehow force the timezone to be local, i.e. the output of as.POSIXct(as.Date("2008-07-01")) should always be equal to "2008-07-01 00:00:00", is that achievable ? I tried to set the origin and the timezone, neither of which seems to make a difference. On my Mac

Dear R-list, I am having trouble getting the Plot function to set the tick marks the way I want, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Below is the code that I wrote, and I am not sure why it doesn't work. p is a vector of length 2198, containing numbers between 0 and 240. q is a vector of ones, the same length as p. I want the x-axis to have tick marks every 30 min and I want the

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 <-

I am trying to plot some data, but have got some difficulties with labels on the tick marks on the x-axes. There are 20 data points. All I want to do is to plot the Loss versus Lines. When I use xyplot, the first tick mark starts from 2 rather than 1, and also there is a NA as the final tick mark. Here is the R code you code give it a try: Would any body be able to fix this, please?

When I do this (highly simplified example): plot(as.POSIXct(c("1984-01-01","1984-01-02")), c(1,2), col=2) I get a partially red (col=2) x-axis between and including the first and last tick marks. Otherwise ok. Only happens with POSIXct or POSIXlt dates. Also, POSIX dates cannot be used on the y-axis? POSIXlt gives an error, and POSIXct is unformatted. Bruce Using X11

I've never had any issues with the way that plot.POSIXct chooses the labels of the date axis before, but in this particular case it's output is a little confusing. plot(seq(as.POSIXct("1997-10-01"),length.out=108,by="month"),rnorm(108)) This command produces a chart with every x tick mark labeled as "Jan 01". I can replicate this chart by adding the format

Hello, Is there a way to define the width of the axis tick marks on traditionnal plots? I did not find anything specific on this topic in the help and par(lwd=...) does not affect the tick marks. I guess that using axes=FALSE and recreating the axis with the axis() command could do the trick but I wonder if there is no easier way. Thanks in advance Sebastien

I cannot figure out how to tune the minor tic marks on the date axis of a zoo plot. I read hundreds of CSV files from a zip archive transparently. The time/date strings I convert to POSIXct format, order them and then make a zoo object as there may be cases which have unequal time stamping. As follows: ###################### #Transform timestamps and reorder them dat <- transform(dat,

Dear expeRts, how can I decrease the space between the tick marks and the corresponding labels in an splom? See here: library(lattice) U <- matrix(runif(4000), ncol = 8) splom(U, axis.text.cex = 0.2) # => space between the [small] tick labels and tick marks is/seems to be too large I checked ?panel.pairs but could not find an option for that. Cheers, Marius

Hi, I wish to create a series of plots with the same x-axis range and the same placement of tick marks. In addition I want to force the tick marks to be at specific locations. For example, if I wish to have an x-axis which goes from 40 to 110, with tick marks at 40, 50, 60, ... , How can I accomplish that? The various parameters I have tried changing just seem to be suggestions for

Hi! Probably a simple question, but I can't get any tick marks in the 3d scatterplot I created using the cloud function. The following works to display the three groups using different symbols: data(iris) cloud(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length * Petal.Width, data = iris, cex = 1.2, groups = Species, pch = c(16,1,1), col = c("black","black","red"), subpanel =

How can I change the tick mark values in lattice, specifically wireframe? I have a 11*46 matrix of values that I am plotting using wireframe. Unfortunely, the values range from 0.1-1.1 and 0.5-5. Using the code below the tick marks have are (2,4,6,8,10) and (10,20,30,40). Thanks in advance. graphic5 <- wireframe(output.matrix, shade= TRUE, scales = list(arrows = FALSE, cex=.6,

Dear R-forum, I am looking for a good resource/help on working with POSIXct values and controlling the pretty x-axis labels and tick marks for a data VS time plots. Specifically, I wish to do programming logic which creates different vertical ablines calculations based on the range of times which i am working on. The default plot results are adequate, but I would love to make explicit calls on
