How to adjust time scale axis for ggplot histogram

Question

I am working with a data frame where one of the columns consists of POSIXct date-time values. I am trying to plot a histogram of these timestamps using ggplo

Answer 1

1. The binwidth is measured in seconds, so to bin per week set binwidth=7*24*60*60.
2. Limits can be given as a vector of 2 POSIXct objects.

An example:

y<-as.POSIXct('1970/01/01')+cumsum(rnorm(100,mean=24*60*60,sd=24*60*60))
p<-qplot(y,binwidth=7*24*60*60,fill=I('steelblue'),col=I('black'))
p<-p+scale_x_datetime(major="1 week",
                      minor="1 days",
                      format="%e/%m/%Y",
                      limits=c(as.POSIXct('1970/02/01'),
                               as.POSIXct('1970/03/31')))
print(p)
