Dear Forum, Assuming I need to plot a graph. In the code I have defined X axis range as xlim=c(0,18000) In the plot, the values visible w.r.t X axis are 0, 5000, 10000, 18000. To improve the graph clarity, is there any way I can show the values of X axis as 0, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 .......18000 i.e. the values increase by 1000 instead of 5000. Regards Amelia
Hi Amelia, The usual way is: plot(...,xaxt="n") axis(1,at=seq(0,18000,by=1000) However, you will get overlapping labels unless you use a small font or a large graphics device. You may want to look at the staxlab function in the plotrix package.

Dear Amelia As well as Jim's excellent advice you may want to look at the las parameter which enables you to alter the orientation. Of course you then have to lie on your side to read them or turn your monitor through pi/2 On 18/12/2015 11:30, Jim Lemon wrote:> Hi Amelia, > The usual way is: > > plot(...,xaxt="n") > axis(1,at=seq(0,18000,by=1000) > > However, you will get overlapping labels unless you use a small font or a > large graphics device.

Dear Sir
Thanks a lot for your great help. I had tried the argument by = 1000, but
wasn't aware of "seq". Thanks again.
With regards
Amelia
