[R] coordinates from locator function in POSIXct format

[cristabel.duran at waldbau.uni-freiburg.de]

Dear R-list,

I have a plot with y-axis corresponding to wind measurments
and x-axis with date-time information.
When I want to identify some extrem wind events in the
wind-curve, I use locator() to get the exact
date-information, by clicking in the points in graph I´m
interested in.
I get in the R console the x and y coordinates.
The x coordinates are not in a POSIXct format, I guess R is
returning the x coordinates in a time unit as miliseconds
or something else.

Do anyone how to get the x coordinates directly in a
POSIXct format?

Thanks in advance!
Cristabel.
