hi every body,
i use the itools to plot my graphe, and i have a problem with the log
scale.
If i plot some data between [1; 10000], this 5 decades, the thick
marks are in float format like 1e000 to 1e005 and if i plot the same
data between [1;100000], on 6 decades, the ticks mark becomes 10^0 to
10^6.
of course i prefer this format, this is more professionnal.
I try to force this format for the 5 decades plot. I selected in the
proprety box the menu " use format thick" and i tried to used sometink
like : (10!U, (I2), !N). but it didn't work.
Do you have a idea to force the 10^0 format for the plot with less of
5 decades?
thanks
F

Here are some ideas for a tick formatting function you
could call:
