Hi,
I want 12 ticks at axis 1 and want to write Jan-Dec on each.

something like:

axis(1, at=1:12,
labels=c('J','F','M','A','M','J','J','A','S','O','N','D'))

I could omit default ticks but now how to control ticks.

Dear Yogesh,
I spray my clothing with "No-Bite", and that controls ticks quite well.

Yeah, but then how do you get the suckers to sit still while you write on them?
