Hi group!

Starting with 1e5(?), Gnuplot starts writing axis labels in a "1e+006" 
style, which I don't like very much. I'd prefer, for example, "10^6". 
(I'm exporting plots into .eps files for later typesetting in LaTeX.)

Is there a way of changing the label style alltogether or at least 
re-set individual labels without the need of redefining the complete axis?


TIA,

Sebastian

set format y '$10^%L$'

should be what you want...

Yes, that bascially did the trick. (A pair of curly braces is needed for 
exponents with more than one digit in LaTeX: "set format y '$10^{%L}$'")

And furthermore, the documentation revealed some more juicy options for 
set format - thanks a lot. :-)
