#I am putting a test together for an introductory biology class and I would like to put different cross hatching inside of each bar for the bar plot below color <- c("Brightly Colored", "Dull", "Neither") lizards <- c(277, 70, 3) liz.col <- data.frame(color, lizards) qplot(color, lizards, data=liz.col, geom="bar", ylab="Observed Matings",

These are date and times in the format YYYYMMDDhhmmss. I would like to take this column and make a chron object form them.
