nanotime and ggplot2? about nanotime

[eddelbuettel]

Sure. You will need to write a custom format routine to do that. For POSIXct we get this for free because R natively supports, for extensions we have to do it by hand (and eventually integrate it). This is no different for nanotime than it is for other time package such as chron which are not using POSIXct. Or for packages extending POSIXct such as xts -- you could start by looking at plot.xts.

No, that was not what I said.

thanks, so you are saying that if my timestamps look like
2014-01-01 20:05:05.12345678 I should be able to nanotime() them and then use in ggplot directly?

ha! sorry then, coming from Python I am not 100% familiar with all the terminology. I dont understand when you say For POSIXct we get this for free because R natively supports, for extensions we have to do it by hand (and eventually integrate it)
