Using base R graphics I can customize the position of the tick marks and what text to label them by using the axis function and adjusting the `at` and `labels` parameters respectively. What theme setting do I adjust using ggplot2 graphics to achieve a similar result? TIA Patrick
What is the ggplot analog of the axis() function?

Hello, In ggplot2, to set the placement and labels of the axis use ?scale_x_continuous ?scale_y_continuous and similar functions. The arguments you would want are 'breaks' and 'labels'. Then you can further customize with ?theme. Arguments such as axis.text or axis.ticks are what you would use. This is a (very) broad question, if you have doubts in something more specific, say so.

Thanks Rui, I had looked at the scale_continuous functions and found the help overwhelming. But thanks for the information: `labels` works the same as it does in axis() and `breaks` is what I needed to correspond to the `at` argument. Regards Patrick
