Dear R users, Plotting question from a R beginner... When I try to plot a response through time, for example:>Date<-c("2006-08-17", "2006-08-18", "2006-08-19", "2006-08-20") >response<-c(4,4,8,12) >as.Date(Date) >plot(Date,response)The dates on the graphic appear in spanish. This I guess is the default way of plotting because my windows is in spanish, but I need a "aug 17" instead of "ago 17" (agosto is the spanish for august)... I've tried,>format(Date, "%m %d")And although it does change the way Date is listed, well it's still plotted in spanish... I've also searched through par() settings, but xaxp,xaxs, xaxt, xpd and xlog do not solve my problem... Could anyone help me solve this format question? Thanks a million in advance, Greetings, I?aki Etxebeste Larra?aga M.Sc. Biologist Producci?n Vegetal y Recursos Forestales ETSIIAA Universidad de Valladolid Avda. Madrid,57 34071 Palencia (Spain)
If you want to use English, you need to set your session to be use English.> PLEASE do read the posting guidehttp://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html We need to know your OS and locale, and you did not follow the guide. On a Unix-alike probably Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME","en_US") or Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "en_US.utf8") is needed. On Windows Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "en").

Perhaps:
lct <- Sys.getlocale("LC_TIME")
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "English")
format.Date(Date, "%b-%Y")
For restore the configurations:
Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", lct)
