In case any of you are trying to plot years in this
way, please note that the suggestion by Li doesn't
work.

Here are some recent emails that I have received.....

 Hi, Prof. Ripley,

 You are right, my example was wrong.  I had thought
 that Nirmala 
 wanted to plot the text.  My mistake.  Thanks,

 Yuelin Li.

   This is not going to work.  There are five x
 values, 
 irregularly spaced.

"1990"), x=1:3,  y=1:3) after you

  call plot(c(1, 3), c(1, 3), axes=F,
type="n",  xlab="", 
 ylab="")
  to set the plotting area.

   Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 20:19:58 -0800 (PST)

   I am an R novice trying to figure out plot().
   Specifically, I am trying to plot the values  of a
    numeric variable V for a set of years (1970,
 1974,
    1976, 1978, 1980).  How do I get R to label
 the years
    I am plotting on the x-axis rather then some
 general
    levels (1970, 1975, 1980.)  Using 
as.character(year)
    doesn't seem to help, and using 
as.factor(year)
    generates steps insteads of dots.

   Help will be most appreciated.  I have listed  the code
    I have been using below:

  plot(y$year, y$V, type = "b")
 plot(as.character(y$year), y$V, type = "b")
 plot(as.character(y$year), y$V, type = "b") 

   Thanks,
   NR
