Hi,
I cannot figure out how to change the index format when displaying
POSIXct
objects.
Would like the xts index to display as %H:%M:%OS3 when doing viewing
the xts
object.
If you are not satisfied with the default format, you have (at least)
two options:
a) specify a format when you call print
b) redefine the default.
The default is determined within the print.xts function by a call to
indexFormat
> indexFormat
function (x)
{
attr(x, ".indexFORMAT")
}
<environment: namespace:xts>
So it looks as though you would need to either replace indexFormat or
change the attribute of your xts objects. Read further at:
?indexFormat
Think I am missing the obvious.
If you mean looking at the source code, then perhaps you were missing
the obvious, or at least merely readily accessible. I don't actually
see the option of including a format string in the attribute, so
modifying the function may be needed.
