How can I set the number of decimals places displayed on plots and histograms?

I am learning about image editing and I have a vector of all the grayscale values that go into an image.

In a histogram of the different pixel values, I would like to display the labels on the graph in standard notation. I'm looking for a MATLAB setting to help me do that, so it will display standard notation by default.

Would this work? It has some configurations for x and y axes.

Hi Drummer,

I used the options you provided to add the labels. However, I was hoping there was a way to set those options globally in MATLAB, through a setting in the preferences pane. I have those in use right now, but it would be nice to not write those extra lines when playing around with data. Do you know if that's an option? Thanks for your help.

Well, I think you could write a function for your configuration options.

Check this out for figures, perhaps you can adjust for the histograms.

Then every time you want to plot them, it will be made through your functions.

I don't think you can set a global preference in such a specific plot you want to show through figures.

Thank you!
