R help - Nov 2010 - format y-axis values in ggplot

Hi,

I'd like to change scientific number formatting, 1,E+06,  in y-axis values
to 1 000 000 (number with 1000 separator). How to do this in ggplot..? I
tried to use scale_discrete but couldn't get it to work. Below is a code I
have this far:

p<-ggplot(Data,aes(x=Date,y=PRINCIPAL))
p+geom_point()

Thanks for any help!

Hi:

Borrowing an idea from a post by Baptiste Auguie a few weeks ago on the
ggplot2 list, try this:
http://groups.google.com/group/ggplot2/browse_thread/thread/46a78ab3315fdb7/f2ad305ae935a862?lnk=gst&q=formatter#f2ad305ae935a862

mysep <- function(x, ...)
   format(x, big.mark = ' ', trim = TRUE, scientific = FALSE, ...)

x <- rnorm(10) * 100000
y <- seq(0, 1, length = 10)
p <- qplot(x, y)
p + scale_x_continuous(formatter = mysep)

HTH,
Dennis
