Dear All,
I've done some searching, but to no avail --
I'm plotting x-y data via the "plot" command, and the "log=x" command.
The graphed x values are in scientific notation (1e-02 1e-01 1e+00 etc).
Might you have some idea on how I can get the plot to uses the x values
(0.01 0.10 1.0 10.0 etc) instead? A related Q - where might a good place to
search for such answers? I've tried using Google searches and reading some
posted Manuals but ...
Hi Tim,
The "scipen" option is the one usually recommended for this. R works out
how to print a number in a way that is (hopefully) maximally informative
and minimally long. By "penalizing" this method, you can suppress
scientific notation most of the time:
print(100000)
[1] 1e+05
options(scipen=4)
print(100000)
[1] 100000
On the R home page is an option "Search". The first search listed is Jon
Baron's searchable archive messages, functions, etc. and is a good place
to start. In this case, you would have to take two steps - see the
"scipen" option mentioned and then look at the "options" help page.
Usually you will get the answer straight from the search, _if_ you
choose the correct search terms (life is never simple).
Jim
