Add date scale with custom styling

Description

Add a date scale and custom formatting for creating consistent timeseries plots.

Usage

custom_datetimeScale(
  startdate = NULL,
  enddate = NULL,
  timezone = NULL,
  expand = c(0, 0.05),
  break_width = NULL,
  minor_break_width = NULL,
  date_labels = "%b %d",
  tick_location = c("midnight", "midday"),
  includeFullEnddate = TRUE,
  today_label = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`startdate`	Desired start date (integer or character in ymd format or POSIXct).
`enddate`	Desired end date (integer or character in ymd format or POSIXct).
`timezone`	Timezone for label formatting.
`expand`	Vector of range expansion constants used to add some padding around the data, to ensure that they are placed some distance away from the axes.
`break_width`	Space between breaks. If `NULL`, suitable breaks are calculated based on the data. See 'Details'.
`minor_break_width`	Space between minor breaks. If `NULL`, suitable breaks are calculated based on the data. See 'Details'.
`date_labels`	date format string for formatting date labels.
`tick_location`	Location of ticks ("midnight" or "midday")
`includeFullEnddate`	if `TRUE`, the x-axis limit is pushed up to include the full final day.
`today_label`	if `FALSE`, no label will be generated for today.
`...`	Additional arguments passed onto `scale_x_datetime`.

Details

break_width and minor_break_width can be specified in several ways.

A number, taken to be in days
An object of class difftime
A character string, containing one of "day", "week", "month", "quarter" or "year". This can optionally be preceded by a (positive or negative) integer and a space or followed by "s". For example: "3 weeks".
