For some reason if I try to display data with the following code, I get the axis right, but the actual data does not plot. Any suggestions?

par(bg="lightgray")
adates <-as.Date(row.names(try),format="%Y-%m-%d")
plot(try[,1],x=adates,type="o",axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE)
usr <- par("usr")
rect(usr[1], usr[3], usr[2], usr[4], col="cornsilk", border="black")
lines(try[,1], col="blue")

axis(2,col.axis="blue",,at=pretty(try[,1]),las=1,labels=sprintf("$%1.0f",pretty(try[,1]/1000)),cex.axis=.75)

axis.Date(1, at=pretty(adates), label=format(pretty(adates),"%y"))
box()
title(main="This is a graph", font.main=4, col.main="red",xlab="Date",ylab="$ (in $1000s)")

    Forgetting all the other bits of code, take a look at

    plot(try[,1],x=adates,type="o",axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE)

    The first argument to plot is the vector x-coordinates, which in this case is try[,1]. You then provide another set of x-coordinates with x=adates. So now you have two sets of x-coords but no y-coords.
