similar to: 'col'-parameter in 'hist.POSIXt'

Hi all, I'm plotting a histogram of dates and would like to shade the bars, e.g. hist(.leap.seconds,"years",col='gray',freq=T) -but the axis color also changes, how do I prevent that? thx in advance Janus [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have a casting/formatting question on hist.POSIXt: The histogram plot from POSIXct works perfect (with help of Prof. Ripley -thanks!). When processing the hist(plot=FALSE) output and then plotting the results over the x-axis (bins) coming from hist(), I lose the date/time labels, getting instead integers displayed. Trying to cast the $breaks with as.POSIXct gives silly results with

Hi all, This summer I've been working with a grad student to bring more of the date time classes from JODA (http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/) into R. To make these work seamlessly with existing date time objects, we need to patch +.POSIXt. (The ruby community uses the term monkey-patching for this sort of ill-advised, by sometimes necessary, internal hackery, hence the title.) The problem is

There seems to be a problem in the way `+` is dispatched for POSIXt/difftime (R 2.8.0 Windows). With the following definitions: t0 <- as.POSIXct('2009-01-01 00:00') halfhour.mins <- as.difftime(30,units='mins') I would have thought that the straightforward answer to Suresh's question would be something like t0 + halfhour.mins * (0:47) And indeed, if we

I have found what looks like a small problem in trunc.POSIXt() involving the transition to/from standard time and daylight savings time. Assuming my assessment is correct, I have a potential solution to offer. If a time in daylight savings time is rounded such that the rounded value is on the other side of the transition, the isdst element does not get changed accordingly. I have tested only

The following code: cut(as.POSIXct("2009-11-01 04:00:00", tz="America/Los_Angeles"), "1 day") gives the error: Error in seq.int(0, to - from, by) : 'to' must be finite This is related to November 1st, 2009 being the switchover date from daylight savings time to standard time in the America/Los_Angeles time zone. In particular, in cut.POSIXt, the starting

Hello, ?DateTimeClasses states that "one can add or subtract a number of seconds or a 'difftime' object from a date-time object, but not add two date-time objects." So, is the below expected behavior? > x <- Sys.time() > x [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:56 CST" > x + as.difftime("1","%H") [1] "2007-02-21 16:19:57 CST" Warning

I was surprised when seq.POSIXt() returned a single value rather than a vector, from inputs that I thought were reasonable. Here's an example to illustrate: > t0 <- ISOdatetime(2002,6,24,0,0,10) ## expected a sequence of 16 times 1 second apart > seq.POSIXt(from=t0,to=t0+15,by='1 sec') [1] "2002-06-24 00:00:10 PDT" ## traces to this call >

I have written a set of functions for POSIXt objects that I would like to offer for consideration for use in base R. They augment and extend existing functions. Briefly, ## pretty.ct function(x,specs=pretty.ct.specs) ## round.ct function(x, tstr='1 min' ) ## axis.ct function(side,x,specs=NULL,...) ## parse.timeint function(dv) ## parse.tstr

Dear all, I hope this is a right place to post this; r-help might be appropriate but it looks like I'm suggesting a change in base package, so I decided to post here. (+ Apologies if that has been changed recently -- the version I'm using is R.2.12.2 on Windows.) I've noticed an unexpected behavior of trunc.POSIXt: foo <- seq(as.POSIXct( "2009-10-23 22:00:00"),

For certain values, round.POSIXt(tm,'day') does not round to midnight as documented. The reason is that trunc.POSIXt() does not adjust the value of the isdst element. Assuming my assessment of the reason is correct, I have a potential solution to offer. Additional discussion is in bug report #1543. -Don > x <- c(as.POSIXct('2001-4-1 3:15'),as.POSIXct('2001-5-2

Hello. I have an XYY series that I would like to graph with matplot() or some other single function that will do the trick. The X in question is a vector of POSIXt values obtained from strptime(). Is it possible to tell matplot() how to handle POSIXt x values? I have examined the examples at http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/statsRus.html#5.22 , but would prefer not have to overlay the

Hi, I was trying like to print out data frame with POSIXct column in html format using xtable package, but I got error message when trying to print the table. Here is example: aaa<-data.frame(as.POSIXct(strptime('03 2005', '%d %Y')),0) aaa.tab<-xtable(aaa) print(aaa.tab) Error in Math.POSIXt(x + ifelse(x == 0, 1, 0)) : abs not defined for POSIXt objects

Hy all, I'm plotting graphs using plot() function, they are on X axes POSIX dates: "POSIXt" "oldClass" "POSIXct" "POSIXlt" I can't figure out why sometimes it prints the month and days and sometimes it prints the unix timestamp. It appens usually when the xlim is short like only some days. xlim is settled as a POSIXt like this "2006-12-30

I have a problem ordering by descending magnitude a POSIXt object. Can someone help please and let me know how to work around this. My goal is to be able to order my data by DATE and then by descending TIME. I have tried to include as much info as possible below. The problem stems from trying to read in times from a CSV file. I have converted the character time values to a POSIXt object using the
