WITHOUT going through your code carefully (but where is v_lbs first defined?), maybe something like this is what you want:
> x <- seq(-2,2,.25) > x [1] -2.00 -1.75 -1.50 -1.25 -1.00 -0.75 -0.50 -0.25 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 [14] 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 > x <- ifelse(x>0 & x<1, '<1', format(round(x,2), big.mark=",", scientific=FALSE) ) > x [1] "-2.00" "-1.75" "-1.50" "-1.25" "-1.00" "-0.75" "-0.50" "-0.25" " 0.00" [10] "<1" "<1" "<1" " 1.00" " 1.25" " 1.50" " 1.75" " 2.00" ... or maybe not. You decide.
