Breaks for timespan data

Pretty timespan breaks for plotting in units of 5, 15, 30, 60 sec, etc. Modified from scales::breaks_timespan().

Usage

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

Arguments

unit

The time unit used to interpret numeric data input (defaults to "secs").

n

Desired number of breaks. You may get slightly more or fewer breaks than requested.

Value

Returns a function for generating breaks.

Examples

x = 0:120
y = sin(2 * pi * x / 15) + rnorm(length(x), 0, 0.2)
