[R] specify axis range
Dear all, I want to make a plot where I can specify the range of y axis. I am using the interaction.plot command and because the values of y axis are from 2 to 500, I am using a logarithmic scale. interaction.plot(speclong$Date,speclong$time2,speclong$outcome,xaxt=n,type=l,pch=20,xlab=, log=y, ylab=Concentration (ug/L),trace.label=,col=rainbow(7)) The plot itself gives me a y scale displaying ticks at 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, 200, 500. I would like to get a y scale where it would display ticks at every 4 marks, at 2, 20, 100 and 500. I tried ylim=c(2,20,100,500) but nothing happened. Actually I got an error. Could you help me? Thank you.

Re: [R] specify axis range
If you would provide a reproducible example, even a dummy example, I could give it a shot. Otherwise look for something like break.

Actually I got an error. ylim needs to be the extreme limits of the axis, i.e. a vector of length 2. Suppress axis plotting and then draw your own: interaction.plot(, axes = FALSE) axis(2, at = c(2,20,100,500)) E.g., using the example in ?interaction.plot with(ToothGrowth, interaction.plot(dose, supp, len, fixed=TRUE, axes = FALSE)) axis(2, at = c(10, 20)) axis(1) box() Does that help? G Could you help me? Thank you.
