[R] plot options including formatting axes

[Jannis]

Hi Sachin,

please read the posting guide and include a reproducible example of what 
you want to do.

For your first question you should have a look at ?axis. Supplying the 
'at' argument with the positions of the desired marks and the 'labels' 
with text strings like '10.000$' should do what you want. There may be 
easier ways though...

The second problem should be solved with adding your xlab and ylab 
arguments to the call of plot() and not to title().
