Dear Jean and all, I want all lines to be "low", but during times 9:55 - 10:05 a.m (i.e. a timespan of 10 min) I want them to be "high". In my real data "low" and "high" refer to "lowtide" and "hightide" in the waddensea and I want to assign the location of my animal at the time it was taken to the tide (that means, there was water not only exactly at 10:00 (as taken from official data) but also 5 min before and after).
I hope that is more understandable, if not ask again.
