I was using the comma() funtion in the scales page and was wondering how to chage a  the defaults.  comm(1000) gives me 1,000 which is what I usually want but how would I change the output to 1.000.  

I had thought that I could simply do
comm(1000, big.mark = ".")
but I am getting 
Error in format.default(x, ..., big.mark = ",", scientific = FALSE, trim = TRUE) : 
  formal argument "big.mark" matched by multiple actual arguments

And since I'm here I might as well ask if there is a way to keep a couple fo decemal points rather than rounding to the first integer.

Thanks
