Customizing Axis points in R

As you can see from the screenshot, the X-Axis points are all jumbled. Is there a way to make them appear vertically so that they can be read?

And is there a way to specify the interval in the Y-Axis?

I am using ggplot2's qplot.

qplot(merged[[1]], merged[[4]], colour = colour, xlab="Positions", ylab ="Salary", main="H1B Salary 2012", ylim=c(50000,300000))

Without sample data and your actual code it is hard to give exact answer.

Generally, axis texts formatting is changed using function theme() and argument axis.text.x= (for x axis). To set breaks for y axis, scale_y_continuous() should be used with arguments breaks=.

qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars)+
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=90,vjust=0.5))+
  scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,5,0.5))

More information about theme() features is on ggplot2 site.
