tick labels and the scaling exponent - where is the string stored ?

2 views (last 30 days)
I'm using R2009a and Win7 64bit.
I'm looking, where the scaling exponent of the ticks is stored. Try:
xlim([100000 200000])
Looking into the plot I find the ticklabels [1 1.2 ... 2] an exponent 10^5 at the end of the line.
Checking the ticking with
get(gca,'XTickLabel')
I get [1 1.2 ... 2] but I do not find the exponent [10^5]. Where is this string hidden ?
My motivation to find it out is, that this 10^5 always remains when I use
datetick
and I don't know how to delete it.
We discussed a very similar point in http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/4515-removing-ticks and found there is a bug but I think that thread might be too long to add this question without loosing clarity.

There is no documented user-accessible property that stores the exponent.

So I can't delete it ?
When I use datetick, I always get the 10^5 from the original ticks remaining while the ticks are replaced by the datestrings.
Is there a trick, to get rid of them ?
