[R] comma separated format

2010-11-11 Thread sachinthaka . abeywardana

Hi All,

I'm trying to create labels to plot such that it doesn't show up as
scientific notation. So for example how do I get R to show 1e06 as
$1,000,000.

I was wondering if there was a single function which allows you to do that,
the same way that as.Date() allows you to show in date format on a plot.

Thanks,
Sachin

Is this what you want:

 paste($, format(1e6, big.mark = ',', format = 'f'), sep='')
[1] $1,000,000

Knowing how these things usually have even more compact solutions than  
I usually uncover at first, I will not be at all surprised if there  
are improvements offered:


fc - formatC(1.234 * 10^(0:8), format=fg, big.mark = ,)
sprintf($%s, fc)

#
#[1] $1.234   $12.34   $123.4   $1,234
$12,340  $123,400

#  $1,234,000
# [8] $12,340,000  $123,400,000

So the vectorized  one liner would be
 commaUS - function(x) sprintf($%s, formatC(x, format=fg,  
big.mark = ,))

 commaUS(c(1e06, 1e07, 1e08))
[1] $1,000,000   $10,000,000  $100,000,000

I could not find the right specs to formatC to get the $ in the  
right place.


I see ggplot2 has a dollar() function from which a big.mark argument  
will be passed through to format(), but this suggests to me that there  
might not be a simpler solution in base R. The rrv package has a  
money() function.
