\title{An Extension of Wilkinson's Algorithm for Position Tick Labels on Axes}
\usage{
extended(dmin, dmax, m, Q = c(1, 5, 2, 2.5, 4, 3),
only.loose = FALSE, w = c(0.25, 0.2, 0.5, 0.05))
}
\arguments{
\item{dmin}{minimum of the data range}
\item{dmax}{maximum of the data range}
\item{m}{number of axis labels}
\item{Q}{set of nice numbers}
\item{only.loose}{if true, the extreme labels will be
outside the data range}
\item{w}{weights applied to the four optimization
components (simplicity, coverage, density, and
legibility)}
}
\value{
vector of axis label locations
}
\description{
\code{extended} is an enhanced version of Wilkinson's
optimization-based axis labeling approach. It is
described in detail in our paper. See the references.
