Issue
Unfortunately cut() does not seem to return values with a given number of decimal places (dig.lab doesn’t ensure there are trailing zeros), so I am left with "(2, 2.1]" when I want "(2.0, 2.1]".
I would like to correct this, replacing the first "2" with "2.0", and generally any integer x with "x." followed by a given number of zeros.
If absolutely necessary perhaps someone could suggest a regex for integer (without decimals) x, so that I could replace it myself.
Any help most welcome. Apologies if I am missing something obvious.
Solution
You could use my santoku package:
library(santoku)
chop(rnorm(10), c(-1.55, 0, 1, 1.55), labels = lbl_intervals(fmt = "%.2f"))
[1] [-1.75, -1.55) [0.00, 1.00) [0.00, 1.00) [0.00, 1.00) [-1.75, -1.55)
[6] [0.00, 1.00) [1.00, 1.55) [-1.55, 0.00) [-1.55, 0.00) [1.00, 1.55)
Levels: [-1.75, -1.55) [-1.55, 0.00) [0.00, 1.00) [1.00, 1.55)
fmt is passed to sprintf. Or you can pass in a formatting function, e.g. scales::label_number(...).
