Hi
Are you looking for the axTicks() function (or possibly the pretty()
function) ?

Hi R list,
I like the default ticks that are set up using grid.xaxis() or grid.yaxis()
with no arguments. Finding good values for the 'at' argument is usually not
a trivial task; the default behavior of these functions seems to work well.
The problem with this strategy is that I cannot figure out how to "recover"
the positions of these ticks when you do NOT specify the 'at' argument.
For example:
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5, 4, 2, 2), name = "myvp"))
# This draws a default xaxis
a = grid.xaxis(name = "myX")
# What are the tick marks?
grid.get("myX")$at # NULL
# But if I specify an 'at' argument...
grid.edit("myX", at = seq(0, 1, length = 10))
# ...I can get at the position of the ticks
grid.get("myX")$at
Is it possible to find the tick positions created by grid.xaxis() or
grid.yaxis() if no 'at' parameter is specified?
Thanks,
-David Johnston
