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

Hello, Firstly, real new to R here. I have a function intended to evaluate the values in columns spread over many tables. I have an argument in the function that allows the user to input what sequence of tables they want to draw data from. The function seems to work fine, but when the user inputs a single number (over 9) instead of a sequence using the : operator, I find an error message: the

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

I'm writing a load of output to a file using cat(...), but I can't work out how to turn off scientific notation for small numbers. When I originally tried this a while a go I ended up building up a string variable, which is rather clumsy...

Hi, I have a 3 by 2 plots per page, and would like to place a legend on the last region. How to do that ? Also, is there any way to specify scientific notation for axes label ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

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, How can I format numbers to engineering notation? That is, like scientific but where the exponent is always a multiple of three. Some examples: 1635 000 000 => 1.635E9 163 500 000 => 163.5E6 0.000 000 000 135 => 135E-9 I've tried format and formatC but I couldn't get them to work they I want. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam

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 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

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

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?

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.

While I'm very pleased with the results I get with rpart and rpart.plot, I would like to change the scientific notation of the dependent variable in the plots into integers. Right now all my 5 or more digit numbers are displayed using scientific notation.
