Have you looked at the "CircStats" and "circular"? They have some plotting functions that may be of help to you.

All I want to know, if my solution is proper or if there is another way to go. There is no Information about the day on which this time occurred. it is unimportant as I want to know at what times on a day a costumer buys anything (times are collected from logfiles). The values span 24 hours (e.g. 00:00:00 to 23:59:59) I converted the characters to chron objects (library(chron)) and then to numeric vectors: ordertm.num <- as.numeric(chron(times = ecom$Ordertime)) Then I put the numeric values to hist(), printed the hist without axes=F and constructed my own axis. The result is satisfactory. But as there are so many possibilities with times on R (namely using the POSIX classes) I want to be shure if there is no "standard" approach to handle such time related problems (note that the date is irrelevant to my problem). have a goof Easter holiday All the best Dubravko Dolic Dubravko Dolic <http://www.dolic.de/pagedd.html> -- Statistik -- Tel: +49 (0)89-55 27 44 - 4630 Fax: +49 (0)89-55 27 44 - 2463 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------- Komdat GmbH Nymphenburger Stra�e 86 / TH 3 80636 M�nchen -------------------------------------------- Partners for your success www.komdat.com <outbind://96-000000009676DC1A07BA5142BC1A44984B6E7FAC070052D1AC81378E9342947189B04176014700000017F023000052D1AC81378E9342947189B04176014700000017F7DA0000/www.komdat.com> -------------------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
