What have you tried this far and what part does not work? If you forget for a moment the fact that you want to have ">=1", ">=2", ... can you do what you want with plain "1", "2", ...? Telling us that helps us help you.
Are you asking for the labels on the *tick marks* on the axis? Right now it sounds like you are asking for *the label* on the x axis, but the part that you want multiple ones is confusing. plot(1:10, xlab="1"); is different from: plot(1:10, axes=FALSE); axis(side=1, at=1:10, labels=1:10); To add ">=" to the latter case, this works: bquote("" >= 1:10) labels <- lapply(1:10, FUN=function(x) substitute(>= t, list(t=x))); plot(1:10, axes=FALSE); axis(side=1, at=1:10, labels=labels); On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 8:23 AM, Li, Bingshan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi John, > > Yes, you are right.
