R plot labels formatting

I just want to have # ### numbers in the axes on my plot. For example, not 3500000, 3000000, but 3 500 000 and 3 000 000. Any idea how to do that?

Use the prettyNum function with big.mark = " " and use them as labels in the axis call. To remove the default axis labels, you can use xaxt="n" for the x-axis, yaxt="n" for the y-axis or axes=FALSE for both axes.

Example:

plot(rnorm(1e4),xaxt = "n")
axis(1,at = labs <- pretty(par()$usr[1:2]),labels = prettyNum(labs,big.mark = " "))
