Fixed point numbers on plot axes

Doubtless this has been answered somewhere already, but I haven't found it.

Is there a simple way to display numbers in fixed point format (e.g. 12345.0, 12345.5, 12346.0, etc.) on a plot axis rather than the default floating point format (1.2345, 1.2346, 1.2346, etc. x 10^4)?

Hi,

you could do the following:

ytick = get(gca, 'ytick');
yticklabel =strread(sprintf('%.1f;', ytick), '%s', 'delimiter', ';')
set(gca,'yticklabel', ytick)

Note that any time you set the tick labels yourself, you will need extra work if you want to be able to zoom or pan.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for (for final figures where I don't need to zoom in or pan).
