Is there a function in R to display large numbers separated with commas?
i.e., from 1000000 to 1,000,000.

I think Joe's comment to MatthewR offers the best answer and should be highlighted:
As of Sept 2018, the scales package (part of the Tidyverse) does exactly this:
> library(scales)
> x <- 10e5
> comma(x)
[1] "1,000,000"
The scales package appears to play very nicely with ggplot2, allowing for fine control of how numerics are displayed in plots and charts.
