First of all, I'm talking about : R 2.0.1 on a winxp system (using the default graphical interface being : 'Rgui'). : When I make plots, using dates on the x-axis, it puts the labels in : Dutch, which is nice (since it's my mother tongue) unless I want them in : English... Is there a way to change this behaviour? (Can I change the : labels etc to English?)
Here is an example: R> Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "en-us") [1] "English_United States.1252" R> format(ISOdate(2004,1:12,1),"%B") [1] "January" "February" "March" "April" "May" "June" [7] "July" "August" "September" "October" "November" "December" R> Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "du-be") [1] "Dutch_Netherlands.1252" R> format(ISOdate(2004,1:12,1),"%B") [1] "januari" "februari" "maart" "april" "mei" "juni" [7] "juli" "augustus" "september" "oktober" "november" "december"> R> R.version.string # XP [1] "R version 2.1.0, 2005-01-02" For more codes, google for: Microsoft language codes and look at the first result that is on a Microsoft site. This may or may not change your labels depending on precisely what you are doing. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
