Dear R users, I'm trying to get a good x-scale and labels on a plot like the one below. library(lattice) ## make almost a year of hourly data: mydat <- data.frame(dates = Sys.time() + 3600 * (1:7000), y = runif(7000)) ## plot it xyplot(y ~ dates, data = mydat, type = "l") Only one x-label is given (May). I would prefer several because it makes the plot very difficult to interpret. I then thought I could provide additional tick marks: xyplot(y ~ dates, data = mydat, type = "l", scales = list(x list(tick.number = 10))) But this has no effect. While I can set ticks at specific points (and labels) this is difficult because a wide range of time intervals are used. Any suggestions? Thanks.
