Extract or Replace Elements of a date_xx

Description

Works exactly like subsetting base vectors via [, but preserves the date_xx class and subclasses. The replacement functions ⁠[<-⁠ and ⁠[[<-⁠ conduct additional checks before assignment to prevent the generation of degenerate date_xx vectors (see examples).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'date_xx'
x[i]

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yq'
x[i] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_ym'
x[i] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yw'
x[i] <- value

## S3 method for class 'date_xx'
x[[i]]

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yq'
x[[i]] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_ym'
x[[i]] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yw'
x[[i]] <- value
## S3 method for class 'date_xx'
x[i]

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yq'
x[i] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_ym'
x[i] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yw'
x[i] <- value

## S3 method for class 'date_xx'
x[[i]]

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yq'
x[[i]] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_ym'
x[[i]] <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'date_yw'
x[[i]] <- value

Arguments

x

object from which to extract element(s) or in which to replace element(s).

i

indices specifying elements to extract or replace. Indices are numeric or character vectors or empty (missing) or NULL. Numeric values are coerced to integer or whole numbers as by as.integer or for large values by trunc (and hence truncated towards zero). Character vectors will be matched to the names of the object (or for matrices/arrays, the dimnames): see ‘Character indices’ below for further details.

For [-indexing only: i, j, ... can be logical vectors, indicating elements/slices to select. Such vectors are recycled if necessary to match the corresponding extent. i, j, ... can also be negative integers, indicating elements/slices to leave out of the selection.

When indexing arrays by [ a single argument i can be a matrix with as many columns as there are dimensions of x; the result is then a vector with elements corresponding to the sets of indices in each row of i.

An index value of NULL is treated as if it were integer(0).

value

A vector of the same class as x or a vector of integers that correspond to the internal representation date_yq/date_ym/date_yw objects (see examples)

Value

a date_xx vector

Examples

x <- date_yq(2016, 1:4)

x[[2]]
x[1] <- date_yq(2016, 3)
x[2] <- 20164  # 2016, 4th quarter
x[1:2]

# Trying to assign illegal values for the respective date_xx type raises an error
try(x[2] <- 20165)

x <- date_ym(2016, 1:3)
x[1] <- 201610  # October 2016

x <- date_yw(2016, 50:52)
x[1] <- 201649  # 2016, week 52


x <- date_yq(2016, 1:4)

x[[2]]
x[1] <- date_yq(2016, 3)
x[2] <- 20164  # 2016, 4th quarter

Coerce to zoo yearqtr objects

Description

as_yearqtr() and as_yearmon() are included for interoperability with zoo::yearqtr(), an alternative year-quarter format that is based on a decimal representation as opposed to dint's integer representation of year-quarters. as_yearweek() follows a similar idea, but there is no corresponding S3 class in zoo. These functions were included for cases where you need a continuous representation of date_xx objects other then base::Date() (for example, they are used by scale_date_xx)

format

A format that uses a subset of the same placeholders as base::strptime():

`⁠%Y⁠`	Year with century (the full year)
`⁠%y⁠`	Year without century (the last two digits of the year)
`⁠%m⁠`	Month as a decimal numbers (01-12)
`⁠%B⁠`	Full month name
`⁠%b⁠`	Abbreviated month name
`⁠%V⁠`	Week of the year as decimal number (01-53) as defined in ISO8601

Not all placeholders are supported for all date_xx subclasses. Literal "%" can be escaped with "%%" (as in base::sprintf()).

...

ignored

month_names, month_abb

a character vector of length 12: Names and abbreviations for months that will be used for the placeholders "%b" and "%B". Defaults to the values for the current locale for compatibility with base::strptime().

Value

a character vector

Formatting shorthands

Format shorthand functions in the form of ⁠format_y*_[preset]()⁠ directly apply formatting presets to anything that can be coerced to a date_xx. This is notably handy as they can be used as a labeling function for ggplot2 axes (see vignette("dint"))

Examples

x <- date_ym(2018, c(1L, 10L, 3L, 6L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 12L, 2L, 9L, 8L, 11L))
fm <- "%Y-M%m: %B,%b"

format(
  x,
  format = fm,
  month_names = month.name,  # built-in R constant for English names
  month_abb = month.abb
)
x <- date_ym(2018, c(1L, 10L, 3L, 6L, 4L, 5L, 7L, 12L, 2L, 9L, 8L, 11L))
fm <- "%Y-M%m: %B,%b"

ggplot2 Scales For date_xx Objects

Description

The ⁠scale_*_date_**⁠ functions provide nice defaults for plotting the appropriate date_xx subclass, but come with a limited number of configuration options. If you require more finetuning, you can convert date_xx vectors with as.Date() and use ggplot2::scale_x_date().

Usage

scale_x_date_yq(
  name = "Quarter",
  breaks = date_yq_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_yq(
  name = "Quarter",
  breaks = date_yq_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)

scale_x_date_ym(
  name = "Month",
  breaks = date_ym_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_ym(
  name = "Month",
  breaks = date_ym_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)

scale_x_date_yw(
  name = "Week",
  breaks = date_yw_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_yw(
  name = "Week",
  breaks = date_yw_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)
scale_x_date_yq(
  name = "Quarter",
  breaks = date_yq_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_yq(
  name = "Quarter",
  breaks = date_yq_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)

scale_x_date_ym(
  name = "Month",
  breaks = date_ym_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_ym(
  name = "Month",
  breaks = date_ym_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)

scale_x_date_yw(
  name = "Week",
  breaks = date_yw_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "bottom"
)

scale_y_date_yw(
  name = "Week",
  breaks = date_yw_breaks(),
  labels = ggplot2::waiver(),
  limits = NULL,
  position = "left"
)

Arguments

`name`	The name of the scale. Used as the axis or legend title. If `waiver()`, the default, the name of the scale is taken from the first mapping used for that aesthetic. If `NULL`, the legend title will be omitted.
`breaks`	One of: `NULL` for no breaks `ggplot2::waiver()` for automatic breaks (see `date_xx_breaks()`) A `date_xx` vector of breaks A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output
`labels`	One of: `NULL` for no labels `ggplot2::waiver()` for the default labels computed by the transformation object A `character` vector giving labels (must be same length as `breaks`, so it's a good idea to specify manual breaks if you use manual labels) A function that takes the breaks as input and returns labels as output
`limits`	One of: `NULL` to use the default scale range A numeric vector of length two providing limits of the scale. Use `NA` to refer to the existing minimum or maximum A function that accepts the existing (automatic) limits and returns new limits. Also accepts rlang lambda function notation. Note that setting limits on positional scales will remove data outside of the limits. If the purpose is to zoom, use the limit argument in the coordinate system (see `coord_cartesian()`).
`position`	For position scales, The position of the axis. `left` or `right` for y axes, `top` or `bottom` for x axes.

Parse Dates With Year and Quarter Components

Description

These are generic parsers for year/quarter/month formats that work with nearly all possible year/quarter formats. The only prerequisite is that x contains a 4-digit-year and a 1-digit-quarter or 2-digit-month and no additional numbers.

Usage

yq(x, quiet = FALSE)

qy(x, quiet = FALSE)

ym(x, quiet = FALSE)

my(x, quiet = FALSE)
yq(x, quiet = FALSE)

qy(x, quiet = FALSE)

ym(x, quiet = FALSE)

my(x, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

`x`	a `character` vector
`quiet`	a `logical` scalar. If `TRUE` warnings on parsing failures are suppressed.

Value

a date_yq or date_ym vector

Examples

yq("2018 1")
qy("1st Quarter 2019")

#' # Works even for filenames, as long as they contain no additional numbers
yq("business_report-2018_1.pdf")
my("business_report-082018.pdf")
yq("2018 1")
qy("1st Quarter 2019")

#' # Works even for filenames, as long as they contain no additional numbers
yq("business_report-2018_1.pdf")
my("business_report-082018.pdf")
