How can I display axis values as thousands, millions and billions instead of 10^3, 10^6 and 10^9?

LS,

I would like to make the y-axis of my plot to show 16.000.000 as 16 million instead of 1.6 x 10 ^ 7. Does someone know a solution?

Best regards,

Frits Hermans

One suggestion:

y=1e6*(1:5);
plot(y/1e6);
ylabel('Million');

The ytick parameter controls where the tick marks are and the yticklabel controls the label. I am assuming you are using either semilogy or loglog to plot ...

y = logspace(1, 4, 100);
semilogy(y)
set(gca, 'ytick', [20, 200, 2000])
set(gca, 'yticklabel', {'20'; '2 hundred'; '2 thousand'})
