[R] Labeling Dates of different length on two in axis plot
Dear Contributors, I have two dataset of different lengths, each containing year, month, day and counts. After converting the date using as.Date function, I plotted the two dateset on one graph. That was fine. I am, however, having problems with the axis 1 where I am trying to put the dates. Since the two dates are not exactly the same, I stored the first date as x1 and the second x2. x1 runs from 1953-01-02 to 2006-11-15 while the range of x2 is between 1957-07-26 and 1994-07-17. I tired a number of approaches but the one that seems to come close to what I am looking for is: axis.Date(1, at=seq(min(x1), max(x1), by="50 mon"), format="%Y"). Unfortunately, it only labeled the axis up to 1994 even when I tried to replace x1 with x2 in the code. Since one of the dates is up to 2006, I I wish to display the minimum (1953) and maximum (2006) dates and some possible intermediary dates. I am always indebted to you. Best wishes Ogbos

[R] Labeling Dates of different length on two in axis plot
Hi Ogbos,
Hope things are going well for you. Perhaps this is what you want:
date_x1<-seq(as.Date("1953-01-02"),as.Date("2006-11-15"),length.out=8)
value_x1<-sample(1000:5000,8)
date_x2<-seq(as.Date("1957-07-26"),as.Date("1994-07-17"),length.out=6)
value_x2<-sample(0:1000,6)
plot(date_x1,value_x1,type="b",col="red",xlab="Year",ylab="x1",
ylim=c(0,max(value_x1)))
points(date_x2,value_x2,type="b",col="blue")

I think you will need to show us your code to get useful help (see the posting guide). A small subset of your data and a reprex may also be needed. R has several different graphics systems, and the answer depends on which you are using. In base graphics, the axis() function (see its Help page) may be what you need, but that's just a guess. Others may be able to be more specific.

Dear Jim and Bert, Thank your for looking into this for me. I will try to reproduce a part of my data and the plot I have.

The length is 1203. The plot is attached. How to label the x-axis is the problem. I will send the code in another email so that the moderator will let it go.
