Re: [R] Barplots: Editing the frequency x-axis names Hi thanks for the respone, but cant you be more specific with your example. I cant see that this will do the trick. What Im looking for is a function that remembers each position but only displays every n'th date. For example position	Returns	    Disply Date 2003-01-31		1		N 2003-02-28		2		N 2003-03-31		3		Yes 2003-04-30		4		N 2003-05-31		5		N 2003-06-30		6		Yes 2003-07-31		7		N 2003-08-31		8		N 2006-09-30		9		Yes .... and so on until present  Where I want to display all the returns in a barplot, but where I only want to display every quarterly date in the plot???
