R: Printing and Formatting of Time-Series Objects

print.ts {stats} | R Documentation

## Printing and Formatting of Time-Series Objects

### Description

Notably for calendar related time series objects, `format` and `print` methods showing years, months and or quarters respectively.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'ts'
    print(x, calendar, ...)
    .preformat.ts(x, calendar, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a time series object.
`calendar` | enable/disable the display of information about month names, quarter names or year when printing. The default is `TRUE` for a frequency of 4 or 12, `FALSE` otherwise.
`...` | additional arguments to `print` (or `format` methods).

### Details

The `print` method for `"ts"` objects prints a header (basically of `tsp(x)`), if `calendar` is false, and then prints the result of `.preformat.ts(x, *)`, which is typically a `matrix` with `rownames` built from the calendar times where applicable.

### See Also

`print`, `ts`.

### Examples

    print(ts(1:10, frequency = 7, start = c(12, 2)), calendar = TRUE)

    print(sunsp.1 <- window(sunspot.month, end=c(1756, 12)))
    m <- .preformat.ts(sunsp.1) # a character matrix
