Subject: [R] Axis Formats with library(car)

I am trying to develop scatter plots using library(car). However, the

I am getting shows the axis (x and y) in scientific notation. I want to

the axis represented by regular integers (for eg. the X axis i want the

bound to show as 40,000,000 instead of 4.0e+07). Scanning the r-help

did not get me the answer.


I have uploaded my data here: http://bit.ly/olgMLt (scatter_example.csv).
The resulting graph is shown here:
http://bit.ly/r8XxUA(business_orig_scatterplot.pdf). My code is as
follows:

estimation_data <- read.csv("scatter_example.csv",head=TRUE,sep=",")
library(car)
scatterplot(Bus_Orig ~ POP1995, data=estimation_data,
     xlab="Population (1995)", ylab="Business Origins",
   main="Scatter Plot - State Levels",
   labels=row.names(estimation_data), boxplots=FALSE)

I tried the following as well which gave me no results.

# Trying to show #s in non-scientific format for presentation
estimation_data$BO <- format(estimation_data$Bus_Orig, scientific = FALSE,
big.mark = ",")
estimation_data$P95 <- format(estimation_data$POP1995, scientific = FALSE,
big.mark = ",")

scatterplot(Bus_Orig ~ POP1995, data=estimation_data,
     xlab="Population (1995)", ylab="Business Origins",
   main="Scatter Plot - State Levels",
            xlim=estimation_data$P95, ylim=estimation_data$BO,
   labels=row.names(estimation_data), boxplots=FALSE)

So any pointers to fix this would be helpful.

TIA,
Krishnan
