如何使用 POSIXct 格式的数据框制作箱线图

How to make boxplot with a data frame with POSIXct format

我有一个 POSIXct 格式的数据框。我需要制作我拥有的四列的箱线图,但它不起作用。

Site.1350   Site.1700   Site.2000   Site.2300
15:15:08    15:29:08    15:32:50    15:34:12
15:02:32    15:23:43    15:21:06    15:34:50
14:40:34    14:58:30    15:21:06    15:32:50
15:15:08    15:29:08    15:21:06    15:34:50
15:10:03    14:58:30    15:30:01    15:34:12
15:23:43    15:19:42    15:30:01    15:34:00
14:56:24    15:29:08    15:21:06    15:34:50
15:15:08    14:58:30    15:24:56    15:34:50
15:15:08    14:58:30    15:32:50    15:34:12
14:56:24    14:42:57    15:32:50    15:34:50
14:56:24    14:47:35    15:21:06    15:30:01
14:56:24    15:23:43    15:24:56    15:34:12
15:15:08    14:49:51    15:30:01    15:34:12
15:02:32    15:32:50    15:30:01    15:27:10
15:10:03    15:29:08    15:34:12    15:34:12

这是我使用的代码:

DF <-  read.csv2(file="Photoperiod.csv")

DF$Site.1350 <-as.POSIXct(DF$Site.1350 , format = "%H:%M:%S") 
DF$Site.1700 <-as.POSIXct(DF$Site.1700 , format = "%H:%M:%S")
DF$Site.2000 <-as.POSIXct(DF$Site.2000 , format = "%H:%M:%S")
DF$Site.2300 <-as.POSIXct(DF$Site.2300 , format = "%H:%M:%S")

boxplot(DF )

用POSIXct数据做箱线图没有问题。关键是轴看起来不太好,因为 R 不打印人类可读的标签。一种解决方案是自行控制轴标签:

# create data
random <- round(runif(10,0,59))
p_time <- as.POSIXct(  strptime(    paste0("2011-03-27 01:", random ,":00"), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" ))
random <- round(runif(10,0,59))
p_time2 <- as.POSIXct(  strptime(    paste0("2011-03-27 02:", random ,":00"), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" ))


# make boxplot
boxplot(p_time, p_time2, axes=F)
box()

# make axis
dd <- c(p_time, p_time2)
ff <- seq(min(dd), max(dd), length.out = 5)
axis(2, at=seq(min(dd), max(dd), length.out = 5), labels = F )

text(x=0.3, y=ff, labels=format(ff, format = "%H:%M"), xpd=NA, pos=2)
