In numform: Tools to Format Numbers for Publication

Description

Format long weekday name, integer, or date formats to a single capital letter. Useful for plot scales as a way to save space.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
f_weekday(x, distinct = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
f_weekday(x, distinct = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Date'
f_weekday(x, distinct = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'POSIXt'
f_weekday(x, distinct = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'hms'
f_weekday(x, distinct = FALSE, ...)

ff_weekday(distinct = FALSE, ...)

f_weekday_name(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
f_weekday_name(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
f_weekday_name(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Date'
f_weekday_name(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'POSIXt'
f_weekday_name(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'hms'
f_weekday_name(x, ...)

ff_weekday_name(...)

f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

## Default S3 method:
f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'Date'
f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'POSIXt'
f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

f_weekday_abbreviation(x, ...)

ff_weekday_abbreviation(...)

Arguments

x	A vector of weekday names, integers 1-12, or dates.
distinct	logical. If TRUE Sunday will be presented as Su and Thursday as Th.
...	ignored.

Value

Returns a single letter month abbreviation atomic vector.

Examples

f_weekday(weekdays(x=as.Date(seq(7), origin="1950-01-07")))
f_weekday(weekdays(x=as.Date(seq(7), origin="1950-01-07")), TRUE)

f_weekday(1:7)
f_weekday(1:7, TRUE)

days <- seq(as.Date("2000/1/2"), by = "day", length.out = 7)
f_weekday(days)
f_weekday(days, TRUE)
