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, ...)

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	Numeric. The maximal (absolute) power of 10 to be used for a log-scale.
...	Arguments passed on to pretty if log=FALSE

A vector of breakpoints.
