similar to: R is converting arg input to scientific notation, which is bad!

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.

Hi I am using xyplot() to plot on the log scale by using scale=list(log=T) argument. For example: xyplot(1:10~1:10, scales=list(log=T)) But the axis labels are printed as scientific notation (10^0.0, etc), instead of fixed notation. How can I change that to fixed notation? options(scipen=4) doesn't work on xyplot() Thanks John

Is there a better alternative to x = c(1e7, 2e7) x.lb = c(0,1e7,2e7) s.lb = format(x.lb, scientific = FALSE, big.mark = ",") barplot(x, yaxt = "n", ylab = "") axis(side = 2, at = x.lb, labels = s.lb) (I am sure there is a better alternative to line 2 :)). Thank you. -- View this message in context:

Hello, llvm-bcanalyzer told me that the size of the BLOCKINFO_BLOCK of my file is "1.345017e+01" percent of the whole file. This is not very readable. The attached patch prints the percentage without scientific notation so we get something bit more readable: Block ID #0 (BLOCKINFO_BLOCK): Num Instances: 1 Total Size: 637b/79.62B/19W % of file: 13.450169 Num

Hi, Andreas Neustifter <astifter-llvm at gmx.at> writes: > Maybe you can use the already available "include/llvm/Support/Format.h"? Thanks, that simplifies the patch a lot. See the attached patch. Btw, llvm-bcanalyzer.cpp seems to also use fprintf -- does mixing it with errs() cause problems and should it be converted to use format()? best regards, Timo Lindfors

PROBLEM `signif' does change to scientic notation at different levels depending on the number of significant digits in the input. This can generate tables where figures change ``irregularly'' from normal to scientific notation. PROPOSAL The change to the scientific notation should be made only if the figure in scientific notation - with potentially as

Hi, Would there be a function and/or some options to force R to write a value of say 1.0e-4 as "0.0001"? More specifically I want to use R to write ASCII file(s) for other programs to read and some of these programs don't know how to deal numbers in scientific notation or have a different convention.

Hi, I was working on a project for my class and I am trying to make sure the y-axis numbers NEVER convert automatically to scientific notation. Is there anything I can set in the plot function to make sure of this? I know formatC( ) can be used in the axis function, but it seems to give me an error when using it in the plot function. Thanks, student-in-need-of-some-help

Sorry for asking such a simple question, but I couldn't find the answer through a search... How can I get R to show me the values of estimates *not* in scientific notation? When I use summary() after using lm() I am getting numbers like 4.485107e-01, when what I want to see is 0.4485.... Thanks, Brian

The labels on the x-axis are defaulting to scientific notation no matter how small cex.axis is. How can I override scientific notation to get the labels to print out as specified? Here is the code (UNIT here is 0.0105): plot(xm,yv,log="xy",ylim=c(0.1,20)/UNIT,xlim=c(0.004,20)*UNIT,xaxt="n",t ype="n") axis(1,

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone might know a way to stop R reading my survival history that has zeros at the beginning in as scientific notation. The data is being read in from a .txt file via read.table to be used with Rmark I have the same issues at the moment with reading in .csv and .xls files. The number was formatted as text in the .xls file otherwise excel puts it into scientific notation

Dear Help-Rs,   I'm working with a file that contains large numbers and I need to export them "as is".  for example take:   x <- c(27104010002005,27104020001805,27104090001810,90050013000140,90050013000120) y <- c(1:5) df <- data.frame(cbind(x,y))   When I then try a simple: write.csv(df,file="df.csv")   I get:  x y 1 2.7104E+13 1 2 2.7104E+13 2 3 2.71041E+13 3
