Try this:
n <- 100
x <- data.frame(time = seq(from = as.Date('2010-1-1')
, to = as.Date('2012-1-1')
, length = n
)
, val = runif(n)
)
plot(x$time, x$val, type = 'l', main = 'Default')
# now plot with your own axis with the first character of month in the
center
plot(x$time, x$val, type = 'l', main = 'Manual Labels', xaxt = 'n')
# create sequence of start of month
monthTick <- seq(from = as.Date(format(min(x$time), "%Y-%m-1"))
, to = as.Date(format(max(x$time), "%Y-%m-1"))
, by = '1 month'
)
# create tick marks
axis(1, at = monthTick, labels = FALSE)
# add months
mtext(substring(months(monthTick), 1, 1)
, at = monthTick + 15
, side = 1
)
