[R] Barplots: Editing the frequency x-axis names

[Tom.O]

Hi thanks for the respone, but cant you be more specific with your example. I
cant see that this will do the trick. What Im looking for is a function that
remembers each position but only displays every n'th date.

For example

position	Returns	    Disply Date
2003-01-31		1		N
2003-02-28		2		N
2003-03-31		3		Yes
2003-04-30		4		N
2003-05-31		5		N
2003-06-30		6		Yes
2003-07-31		7		N
2003-08-31		8		N
2006-09-30		9		Yes
.... and so on until present 

Where I want to display all the returns in a barplot, but where I only want
to display every quarterly date in the plot???
