Hi,

I have the following data in two columns. The first column is the date, the
second is data.

Date Data
3-Jan-95 459.21
4-Jan-95 459.13
5-Jan-95 460.73
6-Jan-95 460.38
9-Jan-95 460.67
10-Jan-95 460.9
11-Jan-95 461.68
12-Jan-95 461.64
13-Jan-95 461.64
16-Jan-95 465.97
17-Jan-95 469.38
18-Jan-95 470.05
19-Jan-95 469.72
20-Jan-95 466.95
23-Jan-95 464.78
24-Jan-95 465.81
25-Jan-95 465.86

I would like to used the date as the x-axis and data the y-axis. I tried
plot(Data~Date,data=d), where d is the R data frame variable that holds the
two columns. But something very strange happened, although the graph has
dates on the x-axis, the order of these dates are wrong. I searched the help
file, and realized that I need to tell R explicitly to set the date as
x-axis. Unfortunately, this is as far as I got, and I couldn't figure out
exactly how to do this. Could someone please provide me with an example?

Thanks,

Tom
