stack time series graph in R

I have the following data set:

Percentage  Date    Category
0.001546278 1   A
0.002334523 2   A
0.00089928  3   A
0.00205846  4   A
0.000994036 1   B
0.000961275 2   B
6.00E-04    3   B
0.001132153 4   B
0.000773139 1   C
0.000411975 2   C
0.00039968  3   C
0.000205846 4   C

which I use to make a graph by:

ggplot(data.frame(data), aes(x = Date, y = Percentage, fill = Category)) + 
  geom_area(position = 'stack')

what I would like is to get in the x-axes a date instead of the sequence 1-4: i.e.: Jan 2001, Feb 2002, March 2002 and April 2002. Any date format will do, as long as month and year appear. Any suggestions on how to make it?

Use yearmon() function from zoo package.

For example : Substitute :

     x = as.yearmon(as.Date("2015-12-25", %Y-%m-%d),"%y-%m")

You could do

ggplot(data.frame(data), aes(x = as.Date("2000-12-01")+months(Date), y = Percentage, fill = Category)) + 
  geom_area(position = 'stack') + 
  scale_x_date(date_labels = "%b %Y")
