Σχετ: plotting dates in x axis

Dear all,
Sorry about that. My mistake. Here is an example of my data
head(aa)? ? ? ?SDATE ?var11 1998-01-29 0.7282 1998-02-17 1.0803 1998-03-20 0.6374 1998-05-07 1.1205 1998-05-26 0.9036 1998-06-05 1.210.........................178 2012-10-4 ?0.71179 2012-11-4 ?0.663180 2012-12-10 0.484
I hope this helps.

 While humorous, the term "Mexican Wall" is unlikely to be clear to the OP. This is a reference to the mailing list anti-virus strategy of cutting out attachments that don't meet a very restrictive set of requirements outlined in the Posting Guide that all R-users are supposed to have read and memorized, but which few even seem to know exists. You can best avoid the "Mexican Wall" by setting your email program to send plain text instead of HTML, and to embed your R code example (believe it or not, this is not the Excel-To-R translation service, so show us your R code and text data, not your Excel file) in the email along with your description of your problem. For more help on getting help search the Internet for "R reproducible example".
