Neither I. So I sent it to r-help maybe somebody else will know. If you
debug code of axis.Date you find that after some computing there is this
comparison where range is based on your input data (in your case x), and z
is from defined at sequence of dates.
z <- z[z >= range[1] & z <= range[2]]
and this comparison results in character(0), when plotting with this
artificial example.
plot(1:100, seq(405,410,length=100), axes=FALSE, ylim=c(405,410),
col="red", pch=15,
type="o", ylab="metres above sea level", main="Main Plot Title")
axis(2, at=405:410, tck=1, col="gray60")
axis.Date(1, at=seq(as.Date("2004-01-01"), as.Date("2008-06-01"),
by="month"), labels=seq(as.Date("2004-01-01"), as.Date("2008-06-01"),
by="month"), tck=1, col="gray60")
I presume, that your x is from different interval of dates or it is not a
date.
