[R] date format in xyplot

[John Kane]

Hi Christine,
I am afraid I cannot help as it 'appears' fine here 

I get an x-axis witih 
Oct 01 Oct 15 Nov 15 Dec 01

I don't normally use lattice but the dates seem reasonable to me

Do a str(Raw) and check if Date1 is actually a date in your orginal data. It is one here but who knows with R :)
