Hi
You cannot expect any code to give you results precisely according to your wishes just out of the box.
You could modify x axis by changing format parameter. It is preset to = "%d/%m", so you could change it to "%Y", if you want to display only year.
format parameter goes to this line in my code.
axis(1, at = x[seq(1, l, length = length)], labels = format(as.POSIXct(x[seq(1, l, length = length)]), format = format))
The code actually has several other parameters which you could modify or you are free to modify the code itself.
Cheers
Petr
