| pretty.Date | R Documentation |
Compute a sequence of about n+1 equally spaced ‘nice’
values which cover the range of the values in x, possibly of
length one, when min.n = 0 and there is only one unique
x.
## S3 method for class 'Date' pretty(x, n = 5, min.n = n %/% 2, sep = " ", ...) ## S3 method for class 'POSIXt' pretty(x, n = 5, min.n = n %/% 2, sep = " ", ...)
x |
an object of class |
n |
integer giving the desired number of intervals. |
min.n |
nonnegative integer giving the minimal number of intervals. |
sep |
character string, serving as a separator for certain formats (e.g., between month and year). |
... |
further arguments for compatibility with the generic, ignored. |
A vector (of the suitable class) of locations, with attribute
"labels" giving corresponding formatted character labels.
pretty for the default method.
