How can I change the axis lables from scientific to decimal?

Dear, all

 

I got a problem during my ploting a 3d figure.

One of the axis, say axis-X, is ranged between 1000 to 2000,

after ploting I found the labels appear like this: (100, 150, 200) *101

I would like to convert it to (1000, 1500, 2000), since this kind of value is more familiar in our fields.

I tried to change the numerical format in the format tool manual, but it seems that is only for the text but no plot.

Any idea?

Custom tickmarks

If you were working with 2D plots (and assuming you have Maple 11 or later) you could use the numeric formatting features to control the way tickmarks look (bring up help and enter "formatting" as a topic).

3D does not yet support numeric formatting. However you can control your tickmarks exactly using the custom tickmarks option. For this add to your plot an option like

tickmarks=[default,default,[1000="1000",1500="1500",2000="2000"]]

This will give you the exact strings you specify as the labels on the tickmarks.

I find a bit surprising that ?formatting has no link to ?printf (and viceversa). Also inconvenient that, apparently, this numeric formating is not provided programatically.

Thanks very much! Yujin
