Changing arrays to date format
显示 更早的评论
Hi everyone, I have 4 arrays that represent year, day, hour and minute. How can I put it in date format so that I can plot my data in terms of time in the x axis? Thanks.

You can use serial date numbers. I will assume here, given that you did not mention month, that the day is "day number of the year".
z = zeros(numel(YearArray),1);
xdates = datenum( [YearArray(:), z, DayArray(:), HourArray(:), MinuteArray(:), z] );
plot(xdates, y)
datetick('x', 'mmm dd'); %month and day, for example. Notice datenum month is lower case m
If you have R2014b or newer you can use datetime objects, which are a little easier to plot with as you can use them directly on the x axis. However, it also turns out to be a bit messier to create vectors from day numbers
z = zeroes(numel(YearArray),1);
z1 = ones(numel(YearArray),1);
xdates = datetime( [YearArray(:), z1, z1, HourArray(:), MinuteArray(:), z] ) + days(DayArray(:) - 1);
xdates.Format = 'MMM dd'; %month and day, for example. Notice datetime month is upper case m
plot(dates, y)

However that will not be very instructive, you will find.
There is no different way of displaying it that will make any more sense. However, you can convert the serial date numbers to strings using datestr() and display the strings. You need to pass the numeric forms to plot(), though.
>> datestr(1E5*[7.304860000000000
7.304860006944444
7.304860013888889
7.304860020833333
7.304860027777777])
