R help - Dec 2022 - Reg: To change the x axis label in ts.plot function

Dear All,
 I have the data set with daily dates (5-days trading in a week) and price
data. I want to change the x axis labels to the plot. I am using ts.plot
function to plot my data. My data spans from 2020-01-27 to 2021-07-30. I
want to change it to D-M-Y first. Then I want to show all the dates with a
one week gap in my x-axis label.

 The following code I am using:
 pricet <- ts(price, start = c(2020, 27), frequency = 260)
plot.ts(pricet)

Please advise me how to achieve the desired result. I have attached my data
and the plot which I am currently getting with ts.plot.

With sincere regards,
Upananda Pani

Is as good a solution as possible using ts I think.

Hi Upananda,
First, the date sequence you are using doesn't match the dates you
specify in your post. The code below may give you what you want:

# make up some prices
price<-c(seq(60,25,length.out=25),seq(25,70,length.out=54))+rnorm(79)
pricet <- ts(price, start =
as.Date("2020-01-27"),end=as.Date("2021-07-26"),
frequency=1/7)
plot(pricet,xaxt="n")
axis_dates<-as.Date(c("2020-06-30","2021-01-01","2021-06-30"))
axis(1,at=axis_dates,labels=format(axis_dates,"%d/%m/%Y"))
