R: as.POSIXct timezone and scale_x_datetime issues in my dataset

Question

I spent some time trying to figure out why the hour ticks were shifted when scale_x_datetime was applied. I\'ve tried to give the timezone when the Date/Time column was crea

Answer 1

Update for ggplot 3+. scale_x_datetime allows you to set the x-axis time zone directly (using a syntax slightly different than that given in older answers). The correct code now is:

scale_x_datetime(limits = lims, breaks = date_breaks("2 hour"),
                 date_labels = "%m/%d %H:%M",
                 timezone = "America/Toronto")
