You're on the right track, I think.
Try this example:
plot(21:30, xaxt='n')
labs - paste(1:10,'units',sep='\n')
axis(1, at=1:10, labels=labs, mgp=c(3, 1.75, 0) )
Documentation for the mgp option is found in
?par
and it's not something that I would expect someone new to R to find easily.

Yes, the initial question is answered and the code works.
I suppose that I should not have added more to it.
I should have posted a new topic.
Sorry that I am not at all an R user.
Just trying to determine if I want to use it.
I just read your link.
Sorry to be more stupid than you expect.

Thanks Jim, Labels for the following are at 0,2,4,6,8,10,12, not data, good.

What we've covered so far is of great value.
For a neater plot,
the next step will be to learn how to put
numbers with units at each tick mark.
I suppose I can form the number-unit string myself in
separate code and put the tickmark in a place that
I calculate in separate code.
But I need to

Don suggested something like this:
h=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
v=c(9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
plot(h,v,xaxt='n')
xat=pretty(h)
axis(1,at=xat,labels=1/xat)
But it puts the tick marks at the data-x-locations.
If the tick locations are not automatic or
automatically separate from the data locations, then
I want

This still puts tick marks at data points:
h=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
v=c(9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
plot(h,v,xaxt='n')
x-c(1.6,2.6,6.6,9.6,12.9)

axis(1,at=pretty(x),labels=axis_labels)

View this message in context:
If you want to customize tick mark labels, use the axis() function.
Something along the lines of
plot(x,y, xaxt='n')
xat - pretty(x)
axis(1, at=xat, labels=1/xat)

I just use the formula.
Hi Hurr,
You can do this with boxed.labels (plotrix) if you know the position of
the axis
