Is it possible to use a comma as decimal seperator in figures?

75 views (last 30 days)
A few years ago it was not possible to change the decimal seperator from dot to comma. Has this changed? I only need the comma in figures (as axis description in plots). Do you have any idea?

If you don't need them to be dynamic, you can change the dots to commas with get, strrep and set. Otherwise, this might be possible in HG2 (R2014b and later), but I don't know about it.
(maybe it is even possible to set your string replacer as the ResizeFcn, so it is run every time you resize the figure window.)

Yes it doesn't need to be dynamic and I have Matlab R2017a. But how can I change the axis with strrep?
x = -1:0.1:1;
y = x.^3;
figure;
plot(x, y);
ylabel('y=x^3');
xlabel('x');
newStr = strrep(gca,'.','.')

try this,
xl = get(gca,'XTickLabel');
new_xl = strrep(xl(:),'.',',');
set(gca,'XTickLabel',new_xl)
