Hi,

labs <- format(as.Date(time(rr)), "%b-%Y")
#Error in as.Date.default(time(rr)) :
  # do not know how to convert 'time(rr)' to class “Date”

#I guess this needs library(zoo)

You're right, I forgot because it was already loaded prior to running the code. Apologies to the OP.

library(zoo)
  labs <- format(as.Date(time(rr)), "%b-%Y")

sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03)
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

#or
z<- zoo(rr)
  lab1<-as.yearmon(index(z))
  plot(rr, xlab="2012 - 2013", ylab="event freq", xaxt = "n", col="blue")
  axis(1, time(rr), lab1,    cex.axis = .9, tcl = -.5, las = 2)
A.K.

Hello,

Try the following.

(rr=ts(rr,start=c(2012,5),frequency=12))

plot(rr, xlab="2012 - 2013", ylab="event freq", xaxt = "n", col="blue")

labs <- format(as.Date(time(rr)), "%b-%Y")

axis(1, time(rr), labs,    cex.axis = .9, tcl = -.5, las = 2)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hi,

I'm trying to plot a simple time series. I'm running into an issue with
x-axis

The codes below will produce a plot with correct x-axis showing from Jan to
Dec

rr=c(3,2,4,5,4,5,3,3,6,2,4,2)

(rr=ts(rr,start=c(2012,1),frequency=12))

win.graph(width=6.5, height=2.5,pointsize=8)

plot(rr, xlab="2012", ylab="event freq", xaxt = "n", col="blue")

axis(1, time(rr), rep(substr(month.abb, 1, 3), length = length(rr)),
cex.axis = .9, tcl = -.5, las = 2)


However, if I change the start point from Jan 2012 to May 2012, which is

(rr=ts(rr,start=c(2012,5),frequency=12))


Then run the codes below

plot(rr, xlab="2012 - 2013", ylab="event freq", xaxt = "n", col="blue")

axis(1, time(rr), rep(substr(month.abb, 1, 3), length = length(rr)),
cex.axis = .9, tcl = -.5, las = 2)


In the the new plot produced, x-axis is still showing from Jan to Dec, not
from May to April as I desired.

How to fix x-axis? Is it possible to fix it WITHOUT modifying the object
"rr"? Also, ideally, I would like to have each time point on x-axis showing
month/year, not just month. How to do that?

Any help and input will be much appreciated!

Thanks
Jerry
