breaks_timespan: Breaks for timespan data

In r-lib/scales: Scale Functions for Visualization

Breaks for timespan data

Description

As timespan units span a variety of bases (1000 below seconds, 60 for second and minutes, 24 for hours, and 7 for days), the range of the input data determines the base used for calculating breaks

Usage

breaks_timespan(unit = c("secs", "mins", "hours", "days", "weeks"), n = 5)

Arguments

unit	The unit used to interpret numeric data input
n	Desired number of breaks. You may get slightly more or fewer breaks that requested.

Value

All breaks_() functions return a function for generating breaks. These functions takes, as their first argument a vector of values that represent the data range to provide breaks for. Some will optionally take a second argument that allows you to specify the number of breaks to recieve.

Examples

demo_timespan(seq(0, 100), breaks = breaks_timespan())
