My plot is showing values on the y-axis in the form of e notation. Which command should I use to get the values in the numeric form. The values in the file used are in the numeric form? Thanks

Targeted. If you want to avoid scientific notation for a given number or a series of numbers, you can use the format() function by passing scientific = FALSE as an argument.
In order to eliminate the exponential notation of the integer, we can use the global setting using options() method, by setting the scipen argument, that is options(scipen = n).
scipen : integer. A penalty to be applied when deciding to print numeric values in fixed or exponential notation. Positive values bias towards fixed and negative towards scientific notation: fixed notation will be preferred unless it is more than scipen digits wider.
To set the use of scientific notation in your entire R session, you can use the scipen option. From the documentation (?options):
‘scipen’: integer. A penalty to be applied when deciding to print numeric values in fixed or exponential notation. Positive values bias towards fixed and negative towards scientific notation: fixed notation will be preferred unless it is more than ‘scipen’ digits wider. So in essence this value determines how likely it is that scientific notation will be triggered. So to prevent scientific notation, simply use a large positive value like 999:
options(scipen=999) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
