Not sure why x-axis of the plot is doing this...

Hello, I have several data files containing data of force and deflection. I'm simply plotting these two, and i get plot like below.

ok... nothing much there. all good.

but when i try some of the other data file, the plot comes out like below:

See the x-axis? it gives the value to 10^-3 rather than as a decimal number. How can this be fixed? I only want full numbers like 0.0035...

I don't know about R2014b and later, but in earlier versions this behaviour is completely automatic and there is no option to display it. However, you can use

xt := get(gca,'XTick');
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', cellstr(num2str(xt(:),'%0.4f')) )
