Hi It is probably simple but how to force in plot command number format: 20000, 30000, 40000 etc. instead of 2e+04, 3e+04 etc. example of command: plot(x=data$along, y=data$rzedna,type="l", xlim=c(0,max(data$along)), ylim=c(200,1200), main="", xlab="length", ylab="height", cex.main=2, cex.lab=1.5, cex.axis=1.2, lwd=2) thanks Jarek
