If I knew this, I have forgotten it: Is there a way to force R to forgo use of scientific notation, e.g. to use .000029 instead of 2.9e-05? (Aside from using formatC for example) I run across this every now and then and work around it (multiple values by 100, for example) but cannot find any way to deal with it otherwise. A particularly problematic place it pops up is in axis tick labels. There appears to be no way to force xx.xx notation...presumably because the width is so great. Any suggestions? -Bob Porter Tampa
