I'm using the BiodiversityR package to generate rank abundance curves.
The following code scales the y axis as proportional abundance (species abundance/total abundance).
The y axis then displays the proportion as a percentage on a linear scale.
I would like to display the proportion as a proportion of 1, and on a log scale.
Does anyone know / can anyone think of a way to do so or an elegant workaround, either with this package or another?

In addition to the answer by ravi varadhan, have a glance to plot.default() and xlog and ylog parameters in par()
best regards
Ravi,
of course, square brackets to retrieve the row vector, then calculate the proportion manually for the y values! I seem to always forget about square brackets...
I think when I immerse myself in the code for a particular function, I get so caught up in it that I don't consider (and sometimes entirely forget) the simple option, which is, more often than not, the most elegant way of doing something!
Thanks!
Tom
Note that I am retrieving column values, not row values.
Another approach is to get the 3rd column and divide it by 100.
