Hi, I am trying to use rect (R2.11) to plot a set of data as following > data Company Pt Pri Pub 1 A WO520 8/5/09 2/11/10 2 B WO893 7/30/03 2/24/05 3 A WO258 12/8/08 6/17/10 4 C WO248 1/13/09 9/2/10
pri<- strptime(pri,"%m/%d/%y") pub <- strptime(pub,"%m/%d/%y") plot.new() plot.window(xlim=c(min(pri,pub),max(pri,pub)),ylim=c(0,length(company)-1)) %y <- seq(0,0.5*(length(company)-1),0.5) %h <- 0.1 %rect(pri, y-h, pub, y+h, col=c("light blue","pink","yellow","red")) Neither xlim nor rect/boxplot recognizes pri/pub with date format. I wonder if there is a good way to deal with the date ploting so the x-axis can reflect the actual time range.
