Dear Contributors, I am trying to do a plot with multiple y-axis on a common x-axis. I have made some progress but I am having difficulties with datetime appearing on x-axis. Instead of as date, it appears as large numbers.
Sample of my data: 78 09 28 0 6.7 -40.4 -3.5 2.3 -3.6 278036 5.8 612 78 09 28 1 5.7 7.3 -4.4 1.4 0.6 261169 4.9 623 78 09 28 2 5.6 -20.9 -3.6 3.1 -1.8 269323 4.8 625 78 09 28 3 5.8 -46.9 -3.4 0.2 -3.6 254221 4.7 626 78 09 28 4 6.2 -41.4 -3.9 1.2 -3.6 248567 4.2 618 78 09 28 5 6.1 -54.6 -3 1 -4.4 252669 4.4 629 78 09 28 6 NA NA NA NA NA 220480 4.3 606 78 09 28 7 7.1 26 -4.8 3.6 2.9 216887 4.4 613 78 09 28 8 7.1 -21.4 -4.7 3.5 -2.3 249928 4 643 78 09 28 9 7 -13.6 -2.7 5.2 -1.4 268806 4 656 78 09 28 10 6.6 -18.5 -3.7 3.6 -1.7 285608 4.2 651 78 09 28 11 6.7 -6.6 -2.1 4.7 -0.6 280446 4.2 661 78 09 28 12 6.7 -29.7 -1.9 4 -2.5 281928 4.2 659 78 09 28 13 6.2 -8.7 -2.1 4.7 -0.8 273465 4.4 651 78 09 28 14 6.1 31.8 -4.7 0.9 3 212374 4.2 631 78 09 28 15 5.4 9.3 -4.5 -0.9 0.8 219662 3.9 636 78 09 28 16 4.9 6.3 -4.5 -0.5 0.5 220610 3.8 628 78 09 28 17 4.7 4.5 -4.3 -0.6 0.3 214432 3.7 628 78 09 28 18 4.9 3.1 -4.5 0.3 0.2 202199 3.5 623 78 09 28 19 5 -13 -4.6 -0.3 -1.1 192859 3.2 619 78 09 28 20 5.1 -26 -3.5 2 -2 193868 3.1 627 78 09 28 21 10.1 -37.5 -5.1 4.9 -5.4 284122 5.9 683 78 09 28 22 8.4 -7.3 -3.6 5.5 -0.8 367499 6.2 694 78 09 28 23 8.2 -17.7 -4.7 4.4 -2.1 346644 4.9 689 78 09 29 0 8 6.3 -4.3 5.8 0.8 269569 4.7 708 78 09 29 1 8.6 35 -3 6.2 4.8 187132 3.2 709 78 09 29 2 8.1 24.8 -4.1 6 3.3 166644 3.5 689 78 09 29 3 15.9 29.6 -2.4 9.6 5.6 720902 6.6 866 78 09 29 4 14.9 18.9 -2.8 13.8 4.8 1587324 8.1 912 78 09 29 5 14.1 8.2 -10.2 8.3 1.9 1509336 8.1 871 78 09 29 6 15.6 -2.9 -6.1 11.5 -0.7 968890 7.8 878 78 09 29 7 19.6 -49.7 1.2 12.1 -14.4 574978 5.4 906 78 09 29 8 23.5 -44.2 -1.4 11.7 -11.5 287721 4.1 865 78 09 29 9 25.3 -71.8 -2.4 7.5 -23.9 58521 5.1 859 78 09 29 10 24.8 -63.1 -2.3 10.9 -22 74956 1.5 821 78 09 29 11 23.8 -50 -2 15.1 -18.1 64510 3 807 78 09 29 12 21.4 -34.3 0.1 17.6 -12 50247 2.3 795 78 09 29 13 18.4 -20 -2 17 -6.3 59939 2.9 802 78 09 29 14 16.4 -13.9 -2.8 15.6 -3.9 56499 1.4 799 78 09 29 15 15.3 -7.9 -2 14.9 -2.1 49346 1.3 759 78 09 29 16 14.1 -0.5 -2.9 13.8 -0.1 57732 0.5 730 78 09 29 17 12.6 14.7 -3.1 11.5 3.1 44351 1.7 722 78 09 29 18 11.2 74.3 0.6 2.9 10.4 68224 0.4 712 78 09 29 19 10.5 60.5 3.2 4 9.1 48082 0.2 706 78 09 29 20 10 54.7 3.9 4.2 8.1 56404 0.2 710 78 09 29 21 9.3 61.1 3.4 2.9 8.1 68824 0.2 694 78 09 29 22 8.6 64.4 2.6 2.7 7.8 44579 0.2 683 78 09 29 23 7.9 63.3 2 3 7.1 39760 0.2 661 78 09 30 0 7.3 59.8 2.3 2.8 6.3 NA NA NA 78 09 30 1 6.6 65.6 1.7 2.1 6 57382 0.5 664 78 09 30 2 6 70.8 1.3 1.4 5.5 63540 0.5 654 78 09 30 3 4.4 45.1 1 2.7 2.9 60856 2.5 635 78 09 30 4 3.6 -28 -1 -0.3 -0.6 80967 1.9 633 78 09 30 5 4 -47.6 -2.2 -0.1 -2.4 48391 1.2 642 78 09 30 6 4.1 -28.9 -3.1 -1.4 -1.9 45012 1.1 643 78 09 30 7 4.2 -42.7 -2.7 1.2 -2.7 45562 1.1 633 and part of my code is: Sys.setenv( TZ="GMT" ) dta<-read.table("IFEDIFIG1D",col.names=c("year", "month", "day", "hour","B","LAT","BX","BZ","BY","SWT","SWD","SW")) dta$year <- with( dta, ifelse(year < 50, year + 2000, year + 1900)) dta$datetime <- with( dta, as.POSIXct(ISOdatetime(year, month,day,hour,0,0))) x = dta$datetime B=dta$B LAT=dta$LAT BX=dta$BX BZ=dta$BZ par(mfcol = c(3, 1), mar = numeric(4), oma = c(4, 4, 1, 1), mgp = c(2, 0.5, 0))#0.5 here controls x-axis margins plot(x, B,type="l", axes = FALSE) abline(v=-3) axis(2L) plot(x, LAT,type="l", axes = FALSE) abline(v=-3) axis(2L) plot(x, BX, type="l",axes = FALSE) abline(v=-3) axis(1L) axis(2L) mtext("A1", side = 1, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2) mtext("B1", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.2) mtext("B2", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.5) mtext("B2", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.8) If I do a simple plot of x and B, the x-axis will be fine, appearing as Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. Please let me know what I am doing wrong with the multiple plot code above. I want the same Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun to appear on the common x-axis. I am most grateful for your kind response.
