R help - Oct 2005 - drawing against a date

hy all

I wish to draw a graph against a date,
I have a set of date like this DD/MM/YYYY, corresponding to it a set of integer
, i wish to draw on x side the dates (the space between the dates have to be
constant, not based on the time between 2 dates but on the number of dates) and
on y side the integers.

Do i have to make a tricky function under R ?

I've search the help for graphical functions but my poor english seems to
make me missing the solution...

thks for your help
guillaume.

First convert your dates to R's date format by as.Date, then see ?plot.Date.
