Force R to stop plotting abbreviated axis labels - e.g. 1e+00 in ggplot2
In ggplot2 how can I stop axis labels being abbreviated - e.g. 1e+00, 1e+01 along the x axis once plotted? Ideally, I want to force R to display the actual values which in this case would be 1,10.
Any help much appreciated.

I think you are looking for this:
require(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame(x=seq(1, 1e9, length.out=100), y=sample(100))
# displays x-axis in scientific notation
p <- ggplot(data = df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_line() + geom_point()
p
# displays as you require
require(scales)
p + scale_x_continuous(labels = comma)

This worked. Thank you. Out of interest, what other 'label' options are there for axes in ggplot2 with the scales package?

This works by setting a higher penalty for deciding to use scientific notation. More explanation in this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/18600721/1080804

For example:
require(ggplot2)
require(scales)
df <- data.frame(x=seq(1, 1e9, length.out=100), y=sample(100))
# Here we define spaces as the big separator
point <- format_format(big.mark = " ", decimal.mark = ",", scientific = FALSE)
# Plot it
p <- ggplot(data = df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_line() + geom_point()
p + scale_x_continuous(labels = point)
