Please forgive my ignorance on grapics. I'm trying to make a relatively simple plot with two line plots, same axes, by mean over a series of dates. I can make the plot well like this: plot(sort(tapply(first.anti.auth.sum,date,mean), partial=1), type="l", col="yellow",ylim=c(0,2.0)) par(new=TRUE) plot(sort(tapply(first.pro.auth.sum,date,mean), partial=1), type="l", col="red",ylim=c(0,2.0)) but I would like the X axis to be dates, not index numbers. The trick is that the "date" column across which the means are calculated returns integers; I'd like to use, effectively: format.POSIXct(as.POSIXct(date), '%b %d') ...but don't know how to make that happen. Thanks for any advice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill clists at perrin.socsci.unc.edu * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu
