Dear R-users, Basically, everything is in the title of my e-mail. I know that some threads from the archives have already addressed this question but they did not really give a clear solution. Here is a series of short codes that will illustrate the problem:
# First a<-1:10 plot(x=a,y=a,log="y",type="p") # Second a<-1:10 myTicks<-c(1,2,5,10) plot(x=a,y=a,log="y",type="p",yaxt="n") axis(side=2,at=myTicks) # Third a<-1:10 myTicks<-c(0.1,1,2,5,10) plot(x=a,y=a,log="y",type="p",yaxt="n") axis(side=2,at=myTicks) # Forth a<-0.1:10 plot(x=a,y=a,log="y",type="p") In the first and second examples, the plots are identical and the tick labels are 1, 2, 5 and 10. In the third, the labels are number in the x.0 format (1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0), even if there is no point below 1. The only reason I see is because the first element of myTicks is 0.1. And, the forth example is self-explanatory. Interestingly, the 'scales' argument of xyplot in the lattice package do not add these (unnecessary) decimals on labels greater than 1. Do you know how I could transpose the behavior of the lattice 'scales' argument to the 'axis' function ? Thank you PS: No offense, but please don't suggest I use lattice. I have to go for base R graphics in my full-scale project (it is a speed issue). ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
