Define the Time Blocks of a Given Time Range

Define the cuts (dates) for the time blocks in a given time range.

Usage

blockCuts(timeRange, blockDuration = "year")

Arguments

timeRange: A time range. Can either be a character string to be passed to the str argument of the timeRange function, or a Date object returned by this function.
blockDuration: The duration of the blocks. Should be an integer number of years as in "2 years".

Value

A vector with class "Date" giving the cuts for the blocks. By dropping the last element we get the beginnings of the blocks and by dropping the first element we get the ends of the blocks.

Examples

tB <- blockCuts("1930_2020", block = "2 years")
