[R] Y-axis labels as decimal numbers

[jim holtman]

Does this modification work for you:

par(mar=c(10,4,4,2))
plot(set1$duration,set1$duration.1,type="b",col = "blue",  ylab="", xaxt =
'n', xlab="",las=2,lwd=2.5, lty=1,cex.axis=2.5)
# now plot you times
axis(1
    , at = set1$duration
    , labels = format(set1$duration, format = "%H:%M")
    , las = 2
    ,cex.axis=2.5
    )

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
