That's what I meant when I said "too much control".
I am happy with the way R selects positions.
All I want is a say in the way R formats those positions.
Think in terms of 1000000 being a variable.
To use axis, I will need to write a map from variable range to axis tick
positions first, and then sapply my formatting to the positions.
