How to plot dates

I need a plot that shows the date and time that each event started.
This ggplot command was publicly given to me via this R Help Mailing LIst.
But the result of issuing the ggplot command is an Error in FUN message.
ggplot(myDat, aes(x=datetime, y = Y_Var)) + geom_point()
Error in FUN(X[[i]], ...) : object 'Y_Var' not found

There is no variable named Y_Var in your data set. I suspect that it's intended to be a generic specification in the recipe you were apparently given. In fact, there appears to be only one variable in myDat and that's datetime. What is it that you're trying to do?
