Thank you. That helps me understand the issue better. I came up with a similar
solution . . . but yours is more elegant (I just wrote out the labels . . ).
My solution follows:
stackpoly(CaribMatrix, stack=TRUE, xlab="Year",ylab="Catch in tons",
col.main="red", font.main=4,
axis4="FALSE", xat=seq(50,760,by=100),
xaxlab=c(1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000))

Hi Ben,
In the stackpoly function, you can specify the positions of the axis
ticks (xat=...) and the labels for those positions (xaxlab=...). You
don't seem to have supplied the "x" values, so the values in CaribMatrix
will be placed display at 1:dim(CaribMatrix)[1]. I'll have to make up
CaribMatrix...
CaribMatrix<-matrix(order(sample(200:500,579,TRUE),nrow=579,ncol=3)
stackpoly(CaribMatrix,stack=TRUE,ylim=c(0,1500),xat=seq(1,600,by=50),
xaxlab=seq(1450,2000,by=50),staxx=TRUE)
This seems to give a reasonable plot for me.
Jim
