[R] Changing X axis of ggplot

[Aren Cambre]

Got it figured out. I found this post on the ggplot2 Google Group:
http://groups.google.com/group/ggplot2/browse_thread/thread/698e658b6dfec56c/5390824dab4a1cd7

It recommends you make this function:
lbl_formatter <- function(x) {
    h <- floor(x/60)
    m <- floor(x %% 60)
    s <- round(60*(x %% 1))  # Round to nearest second
    sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', h, m, s)
}

Then you assign it as the formatter using scale_x_continuous(formatter
= lbl_formatter).
