R help - Jan 2008 - x-axis

Hi,
   
  I want to plot a graph and here is my code:
   
   ec<-rep(0,length(e))
 fc<-rep(0,length(f)) 
 plot(e,ec,type="p",col=1,pch=19)
 points(f,fc,col=2,pch=20)
 legend(1.0e+08,1.0,c("dog",
"human"),text.col="green4",pch=c(19,20),col=c(1,2))
   
  my major problem here is the x-axis is too large in scale and its very hard
for me to read the x-points  from my graph. Can I change the x-label too??
Please help me figure out my problem!! Thanks in advance

Strange. If I understand correctly, you repeat zero length(e) or length(f) 
times and then you plot those zeroes at x axis = e values and another set 
of zero points at different x points based on f values. Why?

BTW, didnt you want to do dotchart? Or maybe to can consider logaritmic x 
axis?
