Hi Deepayan, You will need to do it manually, e.g.: xyplot(value ~ date, data = x, panel = function(x, y, subscripts, ...) { panel.grid(h = -1, v = 0, col = grey, lwd = 1, lty = 1) panel.abline(v = as.Date(c(2005/01/01, 2006/01/01)),

[R] summary - controling x-labels in xyplot (lattice) when x is POSIX object

Hi, The solution to my problem is to use lattice:::calculateAxisComponents to calculate appropriate labels for the time axis in trellis plots. # For example, given x - seq.POSIXt(strptime(2003/01/01, format = %Y/%m/%d), strptime(2003/10/01, format = %Y/%m/%d), by = month) y -

Hi, V1.8.0 seems to allow DateTimeClasses as the x argument in xyplots (lattice). For example: x - seq.POSIXt(strptime(2003/01/01, format = %Y/%m/%d), strptime(2003/10/01, format = %Y/%m/%d), by = month) y - rnorm(length(x)) dat - data.frame(x= x, y = y) xyplot(y ~ x, data = dat,
