Is the date part of your data a POSIXct object? If so,
plot( myData[,1], myData[,2] ) will label the x axis with dates. See the help pages for date-time class objects: ?POSIXt (POSIXt includes both POSIXct and POSIXlt; I tend to prefer POSIXct and find it the easier of the two to work with, overall) -Don At 1:04 PM -0800 2/28/08, joshv wrote: >Hello, I'm reading Time Series Analysis and its Applilcations with R Examples >and I have a question... > >I notice that in the book there are timeseries plots but without the x-axis >being labeled with dates.
