Hi Greg, By default, the "axis" function puts the labels on one line and drops labels that would overlap. When you have labels that are all the same length, this usually results in every second, or third, or fourth label being displayed. So you can probably get what you want by not using staxlab. However, if you really want to use staxlab, try this:
oddones<-seq(1,length(x_yyyymmdd)-1,by=2) staxlab(1,at=x_yyyymmdd[oddones], labels=format(x_yyyymmdd,"%Y-%m-%d")[oddones]) It will also work with plain "axis", which is what you seem to want.
