Question

How can I put my axis labels in a convenient format in lattice?

require(stats)

xyplot(lat*1000000 ~ long, data = quakes)

gives me y-labels like -3.5e+0.7. I would want lattice to write the whole number.

(maybe it is easy, but I can’t find a solution.)

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

There are a couple of “global options” that might affect how values are printed. In this case scipen is the one you want to move:

old_op <- options(scipen=10)
xyplot(lat*1000000 ~ long, data = quakes)
options(old_op)
# probably better to restore it so the rest of you session is more "normal"
