[R] x-axis with month and year

[Schreiber, Stefan]

Thanks for steering me in the right direction!

However, I did it slightly different:

require(zoo)
x <- yearmon(1993 + seq(0, 167)/12)

plot(mydata$CMI~x)


Thanks!

Stefan

Check out the zoo package:

Lines <- "Date,CMI
Jan-93,3.24
Feb-93,-2.56
Dec-06, 8.25"

library(zoo)
z <- read.zoo(textConnection(Lines),
  FUN = as.yearmon, format = "%b-%y",
  sep = ",", header = TRUE)
plot(z)
