R help - Dec 2007 - Forcing "virtual" digits

Hi there,

 

I'm using XP with R 2.6.1

 

I've got the following question: Is there a way to force "virtual"
digits?

 

I mean: In the external csv-file, I read in some numbers, e.g. "33"
which is
written into a variable.

 

I want to add this variable into a plot with an additional digit:
"33.0".

 

I know, that this is a kind of cheating, because the number was not measured
as precisely, but it looks better in the graph.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help,

Thomas

?sprintf

x <- 33
plot(0, main=sprintf("Value = %.1f", x))
