Question

我正在使用格子包中的条形图。我有10年的时间序列数据，我希望x轴以％b-％Y的格式显示，每隔六个月。这可以在xyplot（给定日期DateVector的向量）中完成，其语法如下：

scales=list(x=list(format = "%b-%Y",tick.number = length(DateVector)/2))

条形图忽略了设计因素的tick.number选项，因此x轴对于大量数据标签变得不可读。如何减少刻度和/或刻度标签的数量？

这是一个简单的例子，它重现了我的问题，数据跟随（保存数据为Testrr.csv运行，如果这是错误的格式，这是我第一次道歉;）

library(lattice)

inptTrans <- read.csv("Testrr.csv")
inptTrans$NotherTime <- as.Date(as.character(inptTrans$TransDateS),"%m/%d/%Y")
xyp2 <- barchart (NumE+NumF~ NotherTime, data=inptTrans, main = sprintf("Total")
                  ,type='r',xlab = '',ylab='',col=c('red','black')
                  ,horizontal=FALSE
                  ,scales=list(x=list( rot=45,cex=1.0 ,
                                 labels=format(inptTrans$NotherTime,"%b-%Y"),tick.number=2)
                     )
                  ,key=list(text = list(c("Num F","Num E"))
                     ,rectangle=list(col=c('black','red') ),columns = 2
                     ,corner = c(0.05,-0.11),lty = c(1),lwd=3)
                  ,stack=TRUE
                  )

png(sprintf('Testrr.png'),width = 900, height = 750)
print(xyp2) 
dev.off()

Answer 1

论证tick.number实际上只是关于放置刻度线的建议。在这种情况下，使用at参数可能会产生更一致的结果。

如果要绘制每个第六个标签，首先要创建一个矢量来索引此序列：

okLabs <- seq(1, nrow(inptTrans), by = 6)
okLabs
[1]   1   7  13  19  25  31  37  43  49  55  61  67  73  79  85  91  97 103 109 115

然后，您可以将okLabs传递给at参数，并将其用于labels的子集（此处scales列表已分配给您可以传递给的对象scales参数）：

scalesList <- list(x = list(rot = 45, cex = 1.0,
    labels = format(inptTrans$NotherTime, "%b-%Y")[okLabs], at = okLabs))

barchart (NumE+NumF~ NotherTime, data=inptTrans, main = sprintf("Total")
              ,type='r',xlab = '',ylab='',col=c('red','black')
              ,horizontal=FALSE
              ,scales= scalesList
              ,key=list(text = list(c("Num F","Num E"))
                 ,rectangle=list(col=c('black','red') ),columns = 2
                 ,corner = c(0.05,-0.11),lty = c(1),lwd=3)
              ,stack=TRUE
              )

请注意，当您尝试绘制的数据中缺少（NA）值时，此代码无法正常工作。为此，您可以尝试省略缺少数据的行，并从该子集创建新的data.frame。
