Hi Jim,
Thanks for your email.
My question was: how to change the x axis labels without changing the chart.
Or is that not possible?
Using your example, I added another column:
sydf<-read.table(text="year1 month-day rate
1993 05-01 0.608
1994 06-01 0.622
1996 07-01 0.623
1998 08-01 0.647
2000 09-01 0.646
2002 10-01 0.625
2004 11-01 0.628
2006 12-01 0.685
2008 01-01 0.679
2010 02-01 0.595
2012 03-01 0.567
2014 04-01 0.599
2016 05-01 0.642
2018 06-01 0.685",
header=TRUE)
How can I show the column "month-day" as labels on the x axis, but still
have the plot showing the chart as rate based on year?
I tried this:
plot(sydf$year,sydf$rate,type="b",
xlab="month-day",ylab="Rate")
but this only changes the title of the x axis to "month-day". I want the
values on the x axis to show 05-01 06-01, etc.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,
A basic plot can be displayed like this:
sydf<-read.table(text="year rate
1993 0.608
1994 0.622
1996 0.623
1998 0.647
2000 0.646
2002 0.625
2004 0.628
2006 0.685
2008 0.679
2010 0.595
2012 0.567
2014 0.599
2016 0.642
2018 0.685",
header=TRUE)
plot(sydf$year,sydf$rate,type="b",
xlab="Year",ylab="Rate")
When you add more years and rates to the data frame, the axes will change to
include the years and rates outside the ones in your example. As some have
noted, this is a very basic question.
