Widen: year-day

Source: R/gregorian-year-day.R
year-day-widen.Rd

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

Usage

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

Arguments

x

[clock_year_day]

A year-day vector.

precision

[character(1)]

One of:

  • "year"

  • "day"

  • "hour"

  • "minute"

  • "second"

  • "millisecond"

  • "microsecond"

  • "nanosecond"

Value

x widened to the supplied precision.

Examples

# Year precision
x <- year_day(2019)
x
#> <year_day<year>[1]>
#> [1] "2019"

# Widen to day precision
calendar_widen(x, "day")
#> <year_day<day>[1]>
#> [1] "2019-001"

# Or second precision
sec <- calendar_widen(x, "second")
sec
#> <year_day<second>[1]>
#> [1] "2019-001T00:00:00"

# Second precision can be widened to subsecond precision
milli <- calendar_widen(sec, "millisecond")
micro <- calendar_widen(sec, "microsecond")
milli
#> <year_day<millisecond>[1]>
#> [1] "2019-001T00:00:00.000"
micro
#> <year_day<microsecond>[1]>
#> [1] "2019-001T00:00:00.000000"

# But once you have "locked in" a subsecond precision, it can't
# be widened again
try(calendar_widen(milli, "microsecond"))
#> Error in calendar_widen(milli, "microsecond") : 
#>   Can't widen a subsecond precision `x` ("millisecond") to another
#> subsecond precision ("microsecond").
