如何仅绘制包含日期的时间戳的时间部分？

Question

所以我有一组这样的时间戳:

datetime<-c("2011-09-28 03:33:00", "2011-08-24 13:41:00", "2011-09-19 16:14:00", "2011-08-18 11:01:00", "2011-09-17 06:35:00", "2011-08-15 12:48:00")

我想制作一个只有时间的直方图.我所做的是在空格处拆分列以仅获取时间,然后转换回POSIXct对象以便qplot绘制它:

library(ggplot2, stringr)    
qplot(as.POSIXct(strptime((str_split_fixed(as.character(time), " ", 2)[,2]), "%H:%M:%S")))

但是,输出as.POSIXct(strptime((str_split_fixed(as.character(datetime), " ", 2)[,2]), "%H:%M:%S"))是

"2011-10-04 03:33:00 PDT" "2011-10-04 13:41:00 PDT" "2011-10-04 16:14:00 PDT" "2011-10-04 11:01:00 PDT" "2011-10-04 06:35:00 PDT" "2011-10-04 12:48:00 PDT"

qplot描绘了我想要的东西,但这对我来说似乎是一个令人费解的黑客.当然有更好的方法来做到这一点？我可以转换为纪元时间和情节,但我试图避免不得不这样做作为额外的一步.

更大的问题是,"我如何控制strptime的输出？"

Answer 1

这种方法怎么样？

require("ggplot2")
dtstring <- c(
  "2011-09-28 03:33:00", "2011-08-24 13:41:00", "2011-09-19 16:14:00",
  "2011-08-18 11:01:00", "2011-09-17 06:35:00", "2011-08-15 12:48:00"
)
dtPOSIXct <- as.POSIXct(dtstring)

# extract time of 'date+time' (POSIXct) in hours as numeric
dtTime <- as.numeric(dtPOSIXct - trunc(dtPOSIXct, "days"))

p <- qplot(dtTime) + xlab("Time slot") + scale_x_datetime(format = "%S:00")
print(p)

计算,dtPOSIXct - trunc(dtPOSIXct, "days")以小时为单位提取POSIXct类对象的时间.

用于ggplot2-0.9.1:

require("ggplot2")
require("scales")
dtstring <- c(
  "2011-09-28 03:33:00", "2011-08-24 13:41:00", "2011-09-19 16:14:00",
  "2011-08-18 11:01:00", "2011-09-17 06:35:00", "2011-08-15 12:48:00"
)
dtPOSIXct <- as.POSIXct(dtstring)

# extract time of 'date+time' (POSIXct) in hours as numeric
dtTime <- as.numeric(dtPOSIXct - trunc(dtPOSIXct, "days"))

p <- qplot(dtTime) + xlab("Time slot") +
     scale_x_datetime(labels = date_format("%S:00"))
print(p)

用于ggplot2-0.9.3.1:

require("ggplot2")
require("scales")
dtstring <- c(
  "2011-09-28 03:33:00", "2011-08-24 13:41:00", "2011-09-19 16:14:00",
  "2011-08-18 11:01:00", "2011-09-17 06:35:00", "2011-08-15 12:48:00"
)
dtPOSIXct <- as.POSIXct(dtstring)

# extract time of 'date+time' (POSIXct) in hours as numeric
dtTime <- as.numeric(dtPOSIXct - trunc(dtPOSIXct, "days"))
class(dtTime) <- "POSIXct"

p <- qplot(dtTime) + xlab("Time slot") +
     scale_x_datetime(labels = date_format("%S:00"))
print(p)
