Dear R community I am trying to make an XY plot that shows temperature (y axis) as a function of time (x axis) but I am having some problems. When I use the code shown below:
1. my plot does not show any of the y-axis labels even though there is plenty of white space there (i.e.: I am getting no y-axis title, and no y-axis labels at each tick mark). Is my command syntax incorrect? 2. Also, I was wondering... is there a way to tell R to plot the last 30 days of data in the x-axis? Thank you so much in advance!! Here's my code so far: bdata=read.table('cleandata.asc',header=FALSE) dates1 <- strptime(paste(bdata$V2, bdata$V3), format="%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") temp1 = bdata[,4] par(mar=c(5, 6, 4, 2)) plot(dates1, temp1,type="o",col="red",pch=20,xlab="x axis", main="my plot", ylab="y axis", ylim=c(0,40), yaxp = c(0,40,10)) PS: just fyi, my data looks like this: > temp1 [1] 6.81 26.81 26.81 26.81 26.87 26.87 26.87 26.87 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 [13] 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 [25] 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 [37] 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.00 27.00 27.06 27.06 27.06 27.00 27.00 [49] 27.06 27.00 27.00 27.00 27.00 27.00 27.00 27.00 27.00 26.94 26.94 26.94 [61] 26.94 27.00 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 27.00 [73] 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 26.94 > > > dates1 [1] "2013-01-12 18:10:28 HST" "2013-10-24 18:10:43 HST" [3] "2013-10-29 18:10:49 HST" "2013-11-14 18:10:52 HST" [5] "2013-11-14 18:12:10 HST" "2013-11-14 18:12:12 HST" [7] "2013-11-14 18:12:21 HST" "2013-11-14 18:12:22 HST" [9] "2013-11-14 18:17:10 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:11 HST" [11] "2013-11-14 18:17:13 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:14 HST" [13] "2013-11-14 18:17:15 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:17 HST" [15] "2013-11-14 18:17:18 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:20 HST" [17] "2013-11-14 18:17:21 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:22 HST" [19] "2013-11-14 18:17:24 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:25 HST" [21] "2013-11-14 18:17:26 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:28 HST" [23] "2013-11-14 18:17:29 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:30 HST" [25] "2013-11-14 18:17:32 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:33 HST" [27] "2013-11-14 18:17:34 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:36 HST" [29] "2013-11-14 18:17:37 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:38 HST" [31] "2013-11-14 18:17:40 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:41 HST" [33] "2013-11-14 18:17:42 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:44 HST" [35] "2013-11-14 18:17:45 HST" "2013-11-14 18:17:46 HST" [37] "2013-11-14 18:18:47 HST" "2013-11-14 18:18:48 HST" [39] "2013-11-14 18:18:50 HST" "2013-11-14 18:18:51 HST" [41] "2013-11-14 18:18:52 HST" "2013-11-14 18:18:54 HST" [43] "2013-11-14 18:18:55 HST" "2013-11-14 18:18:56 HST" [45] "2013-11-14 18:18:58 HST" "2013-11-14 18:18:59 HST" [47] "2013-11-14 18:19:10 HST" "2013-11-14 18:19:11 HST" [49] "2013-11-14 18:19:12 HST" "2013-11-14 18:19:14 HST" [51] "2013-11-14 18:19:15 HST" "2013-11-14 18:19:16 HST" [53] "2013-11-14 18:19:18 HST" "2013-11-14 18:19:19 HST" [55] "2013-11-14 18:19:20 HST" "2013-11-14 18:19:22 HST" [57] "2013-11-14 18:19:23 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:24 HST" [59] "2013-11-14 18:20:26 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:27 HST" [61] "2013-11-14 18:20:29 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:30 HST" [63] "2013-11-14 18:20:31 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:33 HST" [65] "2013-11-14 18:20:34 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:35 HST" [67] "2013-11-14 18:20:37 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:38 HST" [69] "2013-11-14 18:20:39 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:41 HST" [71] "2013-11-14 18:20:42 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:43 HST" [73] "2013-11-14 18:20:45 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:46 HST" [75] "2013-11-14 18:20:47 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:49 HST" [77] "2013-11-14 18:20:50 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:51 HST" [79] "2013-11-14 18:20:53 HST" "2013-11-14 18:20:54 HST" [81] "2013-11-14 18:20:55 HST" [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
