Hi All,
I'm trying to label my plot axis with times (HH:MM) that correspond to a numeric index (values 0:6) for my time variable. I'd like to plot "08:00", "12:00", and so on, instead of 0 through 6.
I have used the following line of code:
axis(1, 0:6, labels=c("08:00", "12:00", "16:00", "20:00", "24:00", "04:00", "08:00"), cex=0.8)
[I've used both the 0:6 and at=c(0:6), with no effect.]
My labels come out with a 0 - 6, location dependent, superimposed over my colon in my HH:MM string. So 08:00 looks like 08000, 12:00 looks like 12100.
Any way of suppressing the at locations?
I'm using version 2.14.0 on a mac
My program pulls in the following packages (not sure relevant):
require (Hmisc)
require (lattice)
require (gplots)
Thanks for any suggestions,
Gerard

This works for me:
plot(0:6, runif(7), xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=0:6, labels=c("08:00", "12:00", "16:00", "20:00", "24:00", "04:00", "08:00"), cex=0.8)
You need the xaxt="n" in the plot statement, and the correct form is at=0:6 Sarah
