Note that this works: y <- rnorm(168) z <- zooreg(y, start = as.yearmon(1993), freq = 12) plot(z)
and this also works and does not require zoo but won't automatically put ticks on the months: tt <- ts(y, start = 1993, freq = 12) plot(tt) On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 7:13 PM, Schreiber, Stefan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for steering me in the right direction! > > However, I did it slightly different: > > require(zoo) > x <- yearmon(1993 + seq(0, 167)/12) > > plot(mydata$CMI~x) > > > Thanks! > > Stefan > > -----Original Message----- > From: Gabor Grothendieck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 2:06 PM > To: Schreiber, Stefan > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] x-axis with month and year > > Check out the zoo package: > > Lines <- "Date,CMI > Jan-93,3.24 > Feb-93,-2.56 > Dec-06, 8.25" > > library(zoo) > z <- read.zoo(textConnection(Lines), > FUN = as.yearmon, format = "%b-%y", > sep = ",", header = TRUE) > plot(z) > > > On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 1:12 PM, Schreiber, Stefan > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hey list! >> >> I have a csv-file with two variables: (Date,CMI) >> >> Date,CMI >> Jan-93,3.24 >> Feb-93,-2.56 >> . >> . >> . >> Dec-06, 8.25 >> >> >> When I want to plot this dataset, R is sorting the date in > alphabetical >> order.
