Hi, All

I have a data frame like this.

> names(x)
[1] "month"    "alloc_gb"

One of the columns contains the dates I want to use:

> data.class(x$month)
[1] "yearmon"

I would like to make a time series object out of this. However the ts
function seems to require me to spell out the starting date. Is there a
way to tell ts to use the date column I already have? A naive version of
the syntax I was expecting to find would have been something like:

maketimeseries(values=x$alloc_gb,dates=x$month)

Or am I seriously missing something somewhere?

Display of superior knowledge is as great a vulgarity
as display of superior wealth - greater indeed, inasmuch 
as knowledge should tend more definitely than wealth
towards discretion and good manners.

- H. W. Fowler, Modern English Usage
