Hi, on http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/79252/18401, a solution was given to let the user have input data of the form `HH:MM:SS` (without date). Unfortunately, as pointed out in comments, this solution fails if `HH` is `08` or `09` with the error:
┌──── │ ! Package PGF Math Error: Digit '8' invalid for base 8 (in '08*3600-08*3600+54*60+14.75') └──── A workaround was pointed out on the present list: ┌──── │ http://pgfplots-features.706524.n3.nabble.com/Pgfplots-features-Octal-numbers-td3124234.html └──── just by removing the leading zeros but it is not always desirable to manually change the data. Moreover, the usecase of this post, and hence the answer given by Christian, are not relevant for data of the form `HH:MM:SS`. Thanks to http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/52233/18401, a possible workaround is, in (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/79252/18401), to replace the "brut" hours, minutes and second (#1, #2 and #3): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \pgfmathparse{#1*3600-\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero}*3600+#2*60+#3} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- from: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \def\transformtime#1:#2:#3!{ \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=true,/pgf/fpu/output format=fixed} \pgfmathparse{#1*3600-\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero}*3600+#2*60+#3} \pgfkeys{/pgf/fpu=false} } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- by their digital counterparts (`\the\numexpr...\relax`): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \pgfmathparse{% \the\numexpr#1\relax*3600% -\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/timeplot zero}*3600% +\the\numexpr#2\relax*60% +\the\numexpr#3\relax% } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Now, some questions :) 1. Do you think this is a safe way of doing? 2. Is there a better way? 3. Could `pgfplots` be able to directly handle data time (without date) format? Thanks by anticipation. -- Denis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7. Monitor 10 servers for $9/Month.
