Actually I meant a working example and some data (See ?dput for a handy way to
supply data)
It is also a good idea to include the information from sessionInfo()
I think David W has a good approach.
Otherwise you might just want to write the axis yourself.
=============================
x <- c(1000000, 2000000, 3000000)
y <- c( 44556, 89112, 133668)
nms <- c("1M", "2M", "3M")
plot(x,y, xaxt="n")
axis(1, x, labels=nms)
============================
