[R-SIG-Finance] Chart formats

[Gabor Grothendieck]

In this case the following gives years:

plot(as.zoo(GS[,1]))

and if variations of it do not, you can force it:

plot(as.zoo(GS[,1]), xaxt = "n")
years <- as.Date(unique(cut(time(GS), "year")))
axis(1, at = years, lab = format(years, "%Y"))

I can hardly believe, the only solution is manually creating a character vector. Does anyone know a smarter idea? Or is there a library I might have overseen providing this functionality?
