Hello, I plotted a graph on R showing how salinity (in ?, y-axis) changes with time(in years, x-axis). However, right from the beginning on the Excel spreadsheet the v alues for salinity appeared as, for example, 35000? instead of 35?, which I gues sed must have been a typing error for the website from which I extracted the dat a (NOAA).Thus, I now would like to substitute these values with the correspondin g smaller value, as it follows: 25000 35000-> 25, 35 and so on. Is there any way I can change this on R or do I have to modify these numbers bef ore inputting the data on R (for example on Excel)? If so, can anybody tell me h ow to do either of these?
Hi Emanuela, I think that the axis.mult function in the plotrix package will do what you want with mult=0.001. Obviously you won't want to display the transformation, so set mult.label="". Jim
