Hi, You can write a function to format the labels, like this:
gcomma <- function(x) format(x, ..., big.mark = ".", decimal.mark = ",", scientific = FALSE) p.new + scale_x_continuous(labels = gcomma) Best, Ista On Sun, Jan 12, 2014 at 6:02 AM, Stageexp <ron...@gmx.net> wrote: > Hi all I have a problem with formatting my ggplot2 graph. > > Let's look at this example: > library(ggplot2) > library(scales) > x <- rnorm(100, mean=100, sd = 1) * 1000000 > y <- rnorm(100, mean=100, sd = 1) * 1000000 > df <- data.frame(x,y) > > p.new <- ggplot(df,aes(x,y)) + > geom_point() > print(p.new) > > This is showing the axis labels in scientific notation.
