[R] Scientific notation in plots

[IAIN GALLAGHER]

try something like this:

>axis(side=2, at=c(0, 5e+5, 1.5e+6, 2.5e+6),
labels=expression(0, 5%*%10^5, 1.5%*%10^6, 2.5%*%10^6)

it will place your 5e+5, 1.5e+6, 2.5e+6 as scientific
notation at the correct positions on the y axis. the
key is the "labels=expression...." part.

Cheers

iain
