Thread Subject: xaxis labels

my x axis right now is 7000 8000 9000 10000 11000 ... 16000

but matlab labels the x axis as 0.7 0.8 ..1.6 x10^4

is there a quick way to get matlab not to use this
exponential form for the tics?

Thanks!

figure(1)
x=[7000 8000 9000 10000 11000 16000];
y=x.^2;
plot(x,y)
set(get(1,'currentaxes'),'XTickLabel',[7000:1000:16000])


does it help you ?

I didn't want to have to force the "XTickLabel" since the x
axis is not always the same.

i just wanted to get MATLAB to stop using the exponential
form on the x axis

In this case, do (after you plot intruction)

set(get(1,'currentaxes'),'XTickLabel',get(get(1,'currentaxes'),'XTick'))

it will get the x-axis values automatically computed by Matlab during the
plot,
and it will display the XtickLabel without doing things like 10^4

is it better like that ?
