R help - Apr 2009 - Producing customized tickmarks when producing a graph using "curve"

Hello!
I am using function "curve" to create a line graph.
I was wondering, if it's possible to "turn off" the default tick
marks
and introduce those tick marks in specific locations.
For example, currently in my X axis tick marks are (automatically) at
10, 11, 12, 13 but I want them to be in 5 specific locations, like
9.89, 10.34, etc.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated!

It is possible in any of the flavors of graphics available in R.

use search. rseek for example. use help. ?axis for example leads you to
an example how to do so... (works also for curve)
and please try to show at least that you had some effort when you post
something.

Dear Phil,
thank you so much for refering me to the "axis" function. It helped me
find the solution!
Come on, guys, I was just asking for a pointer, not for a solution.

Come on, Dmitri, you could have found it yourself with 
help.search("tickmarks") or help.search("axis")
