Show all the label values on x-axis

Question

I am having a csv file which contains 2 column date(format yyyymmdd) and value on that date. File contains only 12 values and when I am plotting them on scatterplot using R only few of them are displayed on the axis rest are not displayed.

Similar questions I had seen and they all are suggesting to use axis() for this but this is not working for me. Is there any other method to do it?

Sample data:

20170801,1.234
20171010,1.22

Use axis.Date():

d <- data.frame(Date=c("20170801","20171010"),
                value=c(1.234,1.22))

plot(as.Date(d$Date, "%Y%m%d"), 
     d$value, 
     type="l", 
     xaxt = "n",
     xlab = "Date",
     ylab = "Value"
     )

axis.Date(1, at = as.Date(d$Date, "%Y%m%d"), "%Y%m%d")
