nice: Nice breakpoints for axes on plots

Description

The function calls pretty for linear scale. For a log-scale nice are computed using a set of specified number in each decade.

Usage

nice(x, log = FALSE, lpos = c(1, 2, 5), xmx = 4, ...)

Value

A vector of breakpoints.

Arguments

x

Numerical vector to

log

Logical. Is the scale logartimic?

lpos

Numeric. Numbers between 1 and 10 giving the desired breakpoints in this interval.

xmx
