R help - Dec 2009 - Reformat x axis

Hi

I am trying to do a simple XY plot with a dataset that has dates stored as
integers . I would like to have the X values displayed as dates. I realize I
could do this by converting the x values to dates first, However, does R have
the ability like SAS FORMAT, for example, of reformatting the values of
variables as part of the plot routine?

Thanks

D Haywood

I haven't a clue about SAS FORMAT, but R does have the ability to
specify the axis ticks, labels and titles in pretty much any way you
might require.  See ?axis and also ?text
