Compute pretty tickmark locations, the same way as R does internally. By default, gives the at values which axis.POSIXct(side, x) would use.
axTicks.POSIXct(side, x, at, format, labels = TRUE, ...)axTicks.Date(side = 1, x, ...)
numeric vector of coordinate values at which axis tickmarks can be drawn.
See axis.
A date-time or date object.
See strptime.
Either a logical value specifying whether annotations are to be made at the tickmarks, or a vector of character strings to be placed at the tickpoints.
Further arguments to be passed from or to other methods.

axTicks has no implementation for POSIXct axis. This function fills the gap.
with(beaver1, {
time <- strptime(paste(1990, day, time %/% 100, time %% 100),
"%Y %j %H %M")
plot(time, temp, type = "l") # axis at 4-hour intervals.
# now label every hour on the time axis
plot(time, temp, type = "l", xaxt = "n")
r <- as.POSIXct(round(range(time), "hours"))
axis.POSIXct(1, at = seq(r[1], r[2], by = "hour"), format = "%H")
# place the grid
abline(v=axTicks.POSIXct(1, at = seq(r[1], r[2], by = "hour"), format = "%H"),
col="grey", lty="dotted")
})
