Hi Elliot

This works on Win 7 ver 2.15

   useOuterStrips(combineLimits(
   xyplot(x + y ~ d | g, groups = h, data = dat, type = 'l',
          scales = list(y = list(relation = "free"),
                        x = list( at =seq(from =
as.Date("2011-01-01"), to = as.Date("2011-10-01"), by = "3 month"),
                        labels = format(seq(from =
as.Date("2011-01-01"), to = as.Date("2011-10-01"), by = "3 month"), "%b"))
          ),
          auto.key = TRUE)  ))


This works because the x-limits don't require combining in
this example; all panels have the same xlims.

See below for a solution when the xlims are not equal.


amend the seq as required and the format if required
see ?strptime for format

I'm having some trouble using the latticeExtra 'combineLimits' function
with a Date x-variable:

require(lattice)

set.seed(12345)

dates<- seq(as.Date("2011-01-01"), as.Date("2011-12-31"), "days")
dat<- data.frame(d = rep(dates, 4),
                   g = factor(rep(rep(c(1,2), each = length(dates)), 2)),
                   h = factor(rep(c("a", "b"), each = length(dates)*2)),
                   x = rnorm(4 * length(dates)),
                   y = rnorm(4 * length(dates)))

plt1<- xyplot(x + y ~ d | g, groups = h, data = dat, type = 'l', scales =
list(relation = "free"),
                auto.key = TRUE)
plt1<- useOuterStrips(plt1)
plt1<- combineLimits(plt1)

The x-axis labels are right after the call to 'useOuterStrips' but they get
converted to numeric after the call to 'combineLimits'. How do I keep them
as date labels?

After combineLimits(plt1), the plt1 object will have an
x.limits component that has the dates converted to numeric
form. You can just modify that component with:

  plt1$x.limits <- lapply(plt1$x.limits, as.Date, origin = "1970-01-01")

and then plot it.

Thanks.
