I'm plotting the following (stripped of inessentials) xyplot(sd ~ distance | wshed,data=sdvar.df,scales=list(x=list(log=TRUE),y=list(log=TRUE))) sdvar.df is a data frame, sd and distance are numeric, wshed is an ordered factor trying to replicate the action of log="xy" in plot() The plot works fine but the axis values at the ticks are in scientific notation, e.g. 10^1.5, 10^2.0, ... on the X axis and 10^-.5, 10^-.4, ... on the Y axis. I've searched the lattice help (and I know it must be in there :-() and the archive but can't seem to find a way to make the axis values display as simply numeric (i.e., 10,100,1000, ... on the X axis and proportions on the Y axis). Suggestions much appreciated.
You need to provide your own axis annotation function. ?xscale.components.default gives you details and an example. Also, see Figure 8.4 and 8.5 in http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/ -Deepayan
