Dear colleagues, this seems like an easy problem, and I found some suggestions which I've incorporated in the help list, but I can't quite get it right. I want to add a series of years to a second x-axis category label. I generate them with test and test_2 below, format them with some spacing (which is the suggestion I took from the R-list) and concatenate them and then write them with mtext. At the end, the labels in test are bunched up together in the center of the plot window. Can anyone suggest a way to space out the elements of "test" to look like evenly-spaced x-labels? Yours, Simon Kiss
x1<-rnorm(500) plot(x1) test<-seq(1987, 2002, by=1) test_2<-seq(2003, 2006, by=1) test<-format(c(test, test_2), width=5) mtext(test, side=1, line=2) ********************************* Simon J.
