yes, this is a zoo object. First off all I have:
procProperty: "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" "sensor3" property: "A" "B" "B" "A" "B" "B" "A" "A" "A" data: 40 20 31 32 15 33 15 12 4 I create a matrix with this objects: data<-cbind(data,property) data<-cbind(data,procProperty) now data is: data: data property procProperty [1,] "40" "A" "sensor3" [2,] "20" "B" "sensor3" [3,] "31" "B" "sensor3" [4,] "32" "A" "sensor3" [5,] "15" "B" "sensor3" [6,] "33" "B" "sensor3" [7,] "15" "A" "sensor3" [8,] "12" "A" "sensor3" [9,] "4" "A" "sensor3" "index" contains the date : "2010-10-1 7:32:00" "2010-10-3 4:33:21" "2010-10-5 7:32:00" "2010-10-2 7:32:00" "2010-10-5 7:32:00" "2010-10-3 4:33:21" "2010-10-1 17:32:00" "2010-10-3 14:33:21" "2010-10-6 17:32:00" I modifed with this function: index<-as.POSIXlt(index) then I do: sensor<-zoo(data,index) sensor is: data property procProperty 2010-10-01 07:32:00 40 A sensor3 2010-10-01 17:32:00 15 A sensor3 2010-10-02 07:32:00 32 A sensor3 2010-10-03 04:33:21 20 B sensor3 2010-10-03 04:33:21 33 B sensor3 2010-10-03 14:33:21 12 A sensor3 2010-10-05 07:32:00 31 B sensor3 2010-10-05 07:32:00 15 B sensor3 2010-10-06 17:32:00 4 A sensor3 str(sensor) is: str(sensor) ‘zoo’ series from 2010-10-01 07:32:00 to 2010-10-06 17:32:00 Data: chr [1:9, 1:3] "40" "15" "32" "20" "33" "12" "31" "15" "4" "A" "A" "A" "B" "B" "A" ... - attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2 ..$ : NULL ..$ : chr [1:3] "data" "property" "procProperty" Index: POSIXlt[1:9], format: "2010-10-01 07:32:00" "2010-10-01 17:32:00" "2010-10-02 07:32:00" "2010-10-03 04:33:21" ... it doesn't matter the type of the plot, the problem is how can i manage all the data in order to visualize the plot? How can I "tell" to the pc that I want one plot for each "property" (A and B) and a line for each "procProperty"?? Maybe I should use the function "tapply"?? (in order to have an object like this:) table for A: sensor1 sensor2 sensor3 2010:.... 40 32 20 2011:.... 30 30 15 table for B: sensor1 sensor2 sensor3 2010:.... 14 3 12 2011:.... 10 30 15 -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Plot-data-inside-matrix-tp3063417p3063600.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
