R: Widen: year-month-day

year-month-day-widen {clock} | R Documentation

## Widen: year-month-day

### Description

This is a year-month-day method for the `calendar_widen()` generic. It widens a year-month-day vector to the specified `precision`.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'clock_year_month_day'
    calendar_widen(x, precision)

### Arguments

`x` | `[clock_year_month_day]` A year-month-day vector.
`precision` | `[character(1)]` One of: `"year"` `"month"` `"day"` `"hour"` `"minute"` `"second"` `"millisecond"` `"microsecond"` `"nanosecond"`

### Value

`x` widened to the supplied `precision`.

### Examples

    # Month precision
    x <- year_month_day(2019, 1)
    x

    # Widen to day precision
    calendar_widen(x, "day")

    # Or second precision
    sec <- calendar_widen(x, "second")
    sec

    # Second precision can be widened to subsecond precision
    milli <- calendar_widen(sec, "millisecond")
    micro <- calendar_widen(sec, "microsecond")
    milli
    micro

    # But once you have "locked in" a subsecond precision, it can't
    # be widened again
    try(calendar_widen(milli, "microsecond"))
