Thanks Dennis.

df.melted$value<-as.numeric(df.melted$value)

See the FAQ about converting factors to numeric.

The more typical way of making that conversion is:

 df.melted$value<-as.numeric(as.character(df.melted$value))

... although the FAQ points out that this is more efficient:

 df.melted$value<-levels(df.melted$value)[ df.melted$value]


df.melted$value <- format(df.melted$value, scientific = FALSE)

So you started out with a factor and then you converted back to a character with `format`? Was that what was really desired? You probably want to leave it as numeric and then you plotting routines will "know" what type of axis to create for the data features. If you are in the ggplot world view then there will be functions like scale_x_continuous that appears to offer a 'labels' parameter. Reading the help page for scale_continuous it seems that you might want to try formating the result of the `waiver()` function, but the somewhat older version of the package I have on this aging laptop does not have any worked examples.

Hi:

Try

str(df.melted)

I'm guessing value is a factor. It needs to be numeric or integer.

Hi,

This is the code to create a ggplot. The plot is rendered but the y-axis
labels are not continuous. So the lines are split.

Moreover multiple y-axis labels overwrite each other due to this. How
can I
fix this?

If I try to set ylim I get "

*Discrete value supplied to continuous scale"*
