I had seen a message on this list that used start=as.Date("...")

?plotxy, ?plot.zoo, and Sarkar's lattice book.
I am trying to plot the time series for 'Burns Mg' generated by:
sapply(names(z), function(nm) range(time(na.omit(z[, nm]))),
simplify = FALSE)
$`Burns Mg`[1] "1994-01-20" "2009-11-11"
This is a typical result of my trial-and-error approach:
plot(z[, $'Burns Mg'], range(time(start = as.Date("1994-01-20"),
end = as.Date("2009-11-11"))))
Error in is.matrix(x) : 'x' is missing
Please point me to documentation on specifying
It seems likely even if you got past that error, you would encounter
problems from the hashed up syntax in this portion of that plot call:
z[, $'Burns Mg']
For better guessing, supply the output of:
dput(z) # We have no idea what 'Burns Mg' has in it.
Or just use an example from the zoo pages.
Also: wrapping range() around a vector formed from two elements seems
at the very best unnecessary and at the worst positively fraught with
downside potential. And the 'time' function does not have arguments
names start and stop.
