You could try plotting it in pieces to use less RAM. library(zoo) library(chron) z <- zoo(1:10, chron(1:10))
# same as plot(z) plot(z[1:5], ylim = range(z), xlim = range(time(z))) lines(z[5:10]) On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 10:00 AM, stephen sefick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the comma seperated file is 37Mb, and I get the below message: > it is zoo object read in this way: > > # chron > > library(chron) > > fmt.chron <- function(x) { > + chron(sub(" .*", "", x), gsub(".* (.*)", "\\1:00", x)) > + } > > z1 <- read.zoo("all.csv", sep = ",", header = TRUE, FUN = fmt.chron) > > and then the plot is done with: > > > plot(z2[, c(2, 15, 28, 41, 54, 67, 80, 93, 106)], main="SpCond 9/6/06 on", > > xlab="Date") > > and the resulting warning message: > > Warning messages: > 1: In attr(x, "index") <- attr(x, "oclass") <- attr(x, "frequency") <- NULL : > Reached total allocation of 502Mb: see help(memory.size) > 2: In attr(x, "index") <- attr(x, "oclass") <- attr(x, "frequency") <- NULL : > Reached total allocation of 502Mb: see help(memory.size) > > it still plots the file.
