Thread Subject: newbie question about plot and axis

Hi, im pretty new to matlab and the use of this kinds of tools. So I have a question that im having some problems with at the moment.

I have measured some frequencies on a oscilloscope that I want to display in a graph.
However, when i get the data into the graph I and everything with the curve, I see that the Y-point all are 1.002*10^6 and that isn't very good as a presentation model. So now i have a graph with the correct value ticks on the X axis, and only the 1.002*10^6 as ticks on my Y axis.

Can someone please explain how I can make the ticks show in the graph the whole value without the *10^6 ?

>> a=[14 13 12 11 10 9];
>> b=[1000241 1000237 1000232 1000223 1000215 1000204];
>> plot(a,b)

thats the values I need to have in my presentation..

Sorry for the lousy english and explanation, but as I said, this is my first time here..

(The values are the frequencies of a crystal oscillator that is feed less and less voltage) ;)

set(gca,'yticklabel',num2str(get(gca,'ytick')'))

This way, you're using string values for the yticklabel, so it cannot
be "rounded" or expressed in exponential form.
