R help - Feb 2000 - Format of the tick label in a histogram

I am producing a series of histograms and would like to control the format of
the tick labels.

I tried using the exp=1 option, but apparently this can't be set in a higher
level plot function.

I've unsuccessfully tried to modify the hist command.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Matt Pocernich

um ... you're trying to use a graphics parameter that exists in S-Plus, but
not in R ? :)

you might be able to do some of what you want by a combination of plot(...
axes=F),
axis(... at= ... labels= ...) or mtext(), and format() and/or formatC()
