I have a vector of dates:

"2009-06-12 CDT" "2009-06-13 CDT" "2009-06-14 CDT"
I'd like to make a subset of this data as the x axis for a graph, using 10,
so the first would be the first date, the final would be the final date, and
the 8 in between would be spread equally through the set.
Currently I have this:
plot(data$date, data$DIFF, xaxt='n', xlab='', type='l', yaxt='n', ylab='',
bg='white', tck=-0.025, main='', col='blue')
axis(1, at=unique(data$date), labels=unique(data$date), lwd=.25, tck=-0.025)
Which renders all 63 dates, which of course is far too cluttered. Any idea
how I can easily reduce this to a subset of 10?
