An xts object's tformat
is NULL
by default, so the index will be
formatted according to its tclass
(e.g. Date
,
POSIXct
, timeDate
, yearmon
, etc.).
tformat
only changes how the index is printed and how the row
names are formatted when xts objects are converted to other classes (e.g.
matrix
or data.frame
. It does not affect the internal index
in any way.
A vector containing the format for the object's index.
Both indexFormat
and indexFormat<-
are deprecated in favor of
tformat
and tformat<-
, respectively.

# set a custom index format
