Using time on x axis (POSIXct)

[jcpsantiago]

Not sure if this is by design, but ggpubr won't format axis ticks correctly when given a datetime (POSIXct) column as input.

The fulldate column used in the plots below is of class

> class(n_hours$fulldate)
[1] "POSIXct" "POSIXt" 

and has the format "2017-01-01 20:45:00 UTC"

Plot made with ggpubr:

n_hours %>%
  ggline(x = "fulldate", y = "value",
         group = "ID", add = "mean",
         x.text.angle = 25)

and the same data directly with ggplot:

n_hours %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = fulldate, y = value, group = ID)) +
  stat_summary(aes(group = ID), geom = "line", fun.y = mean, size = 0.6)

Should work now, thanks.

Thanks for looking into it! It's still not working for me with your latest commit. ggpubr is still converting the data to numeric.

would you please provide a reproducible R script with a demo data set?

To include data in a question, use dput() to generate the R code to recreate it. For example, to recreate the mtcars dataset in R, I’d perform the following steps:

1. Run dput(mtcars) in R
2. Copy the output
3. In your reproducible script, type mtcars <- then paste.

Thanks

Thank you.

Should work now. dplyr >= 0.7.1 required
