R gurus, Every so often(*) someone asks how to suppress scientific notation in printing, so I thought I'd give it a shot, but I need some help. The formatting decision is made(**) on line 286 of src/main/format.c : if (mF <= *m) { /* IFF it needs less space : "F" (Fixpoint) format */ where mF is the number of characters for "normal" printing and *m is the number

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:

This is strange. I see what

Thank you, Marttila and Ivan, As the original author of prettyNum() {etc ..}, I will commit such a bug fix to R-devel (and probably port it to R 4.5.0 patched) quite soon (but not yet today).

Dear list, I'd like to report a bug in `prettyNum()`. When called with a numeric vector, the `replace.zero` argument is disregarded. > prettyNum(0, zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "-" Warning message: In .format.zeros(x, zero.print, replace = replace.zero) : 'zero.print' is truncated to fit into formatted zeros; consider 'replace=TRUE' A

Thanks for the contribution Mikko! For testing future patches, you can actually do it right in the web browser, thanks to Heather Turner's R Dev Container, see instructions here https://contributor.r-project.org/r-dev-env/container_setup/ Best Toby On Mon, May 26, 2025 at 6:28?PM Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: > Thank you, Marttila and Ivan, > > As

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,

You fed it two characters, "dash" and "space" and it only wanted one character so it truncated to the first character and warned you that that's what it did. If you had your space before the dash, it would have used that as your replacement character > prettyNum(0, zero.print = " - ", replace = TRUE) [1] " " Warning message: In .format.zeros(x,

Dear list, Have I stumbled upon a bug, or am I holding `prettyNum()` wrong? Please see below. Best, Mikko > prettyNum(0, zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "-" Warning message: In .format.zeros(x, zero.print, replace = replace.zero) : 'zero.print' is truncated to fit into formatted zeros; consider 'replace=TRUE' > prettyNum(0, zero.print =

Tim, The purpose of the `replace.zero` argument is to allow longer replacements. See for example the behaviour with a character vector input: > prettyNum("0", zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "- " I'm pretty sure this is a bug, and have now posted the relevant details on r-devel. A fix would be below. Best, Mikko diff --git

Dear R users: I assigned students to make some graphs and I'm having trouble answering some questions that they have. We are all working on R 2.1 on Fedora Core Linux 4 systems. 1. In the plot, the axis is not labeled by "numbers", but rather scientific notation like "-2e+08" or such. We realize that means -200,000,000. We want to beautify the plot. We would rather

I'm trying to display my deciles without scientific notation, but have not found an option that will allow me to do so. According to web searches, the options(scipen=999) should remove scientific notation, but it seems not too. Does this option work with quantcut function? Is there any other option that can be used? I am using verison 2.10.0. library(gtools) library(gdata)

Under R-1.5.0 on Solaris 2.6: R> prettyNum(123456789, big.mark=",") [1] ",123,456,789" and that bad behavior (leading comma) spills into formatC as well: R> formatC(123456789, digits=0, format="f", big.mark=",") [1] ",123,456,789" Looks to me like a bug in src/library/base/R/format.R, in function prettyNum: B.[i.big] <-

Dear List: Below is how I specify an axis: axis(2, at=c(0.00005, 0.0005)) R displays the numbers in scientific notation. What argument/parameter should I use to tell R to display the numbers as specified rather than in scientific notation? > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major

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
