I have tried a number of methods realise that but in vain . I have data in terms of a date (DD.MM.YY) and am trying to get the following : Name of the Month-YYYY and then sort them to use them as x.axis:
ID Date Month_Yr
1 02.08.2022 August-2022
2 03.11.2022 November-2022
3 07.06.2021 Jun-2021
Sounds a bit like a XY-problem.
I suggest to do the labelling using ggplot's scale_x_date()
#sample data
mydata <- data.frame( date = seq(as.Date("2022-01-01", format = "%Y-%m-%d"),
as.Date("2022-12-31", format = "%Y-%m-%d"), by = 1),
value = 1:365)
#plot with data-axis an labels
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = mydata, aes(x = date, y = value)) +
geom_line() +
scale_x_date(date_breaks = "1 month", date_labels = "%b-%Y") +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5, hjust=1))
