Hi, Rui
Thanks for your code, even though I'm not fully understand it.
And I am new to R, could you kindly help me with
-1). what's the nested usage stand for?
op <- par(mar = c(4, 0, 0, 0) + par("mar"))
-2). how can I get the axis.POSIXct usage or help?
I use help(axis) and help(POSIXct) and not found the actual use.
Thanks very much.

Hello,
Maybe you could get some inspiration in the following code.
op <- par(mar = c(4, 0, 0, 0) + par("mar"))
plot(xdata, ydata, type = "o", xaxt = "n")
axis.POSIXct(1, xdata, at = xdata, labels = xdata, las = 2)
par(op)
The important part is the call axis.POSIXct, argument las = 2 and the
call to par is to make sure that the labels are visible.
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

You have mar A numerical vector of the form c(bottom, left, top, right) which gives the number of lines of margin to be specified on the four sides of the plot. The default is c(5, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1. So par("mar") returns c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1) In order to see the x axis labels, that are longer than normal, I have added 4 to the bottom only, c(4, 0, 0, 0) + default_value.
