Hello, is it possible to replace the text of tick marks in a plot? Specifically, I'd like to have a ppnorm plot in which the theoretical quantiles are not expressed in terms of standard deviations, but in actual percentages. Anybody who's seen a probability plot in MINITAB knows what I'm talking about. I have somewhat listlessly looked at mtext(), thinking that I could maybe first create my plot, then draw a white rectangle over the original numbers (how?), and then inserting my own numbers using mtext(). To me this sounds so stupid that I haven't yet invested any effort into actually giving it a shot. Any ideas? BTW, is it normal that each and every post to this list, even by list members, has to go through moderator approval? Thanks, robert

What about ?axis as a place to start? Are you sure that the email address that your message appears to be coming from is identical to the one you used when you signed up? That's a frequent cause of moderation. Sarah

Hello Sarah, thanks for your quick answer. This is exactly what I was looking for, embarrassingly simple if I might add. Sometimes R is like a huge workshop with unlabeled tool magazines: You know the tool exists, but not where it is. And if you find it, the instructions are often quite terse. The "moderator approval" thing has gone away, too. Best regards, bob
