Scientific notation on y axis

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 23/04/2011

I'm not too happy with the way the y axis is labeled here. Is there a way to force it to use scientific notation for either all or none of the labels?

That would be a TikZ/pgfplots question I guess. I'd recommend looking at the pgfplots manual -- you'll find all the options there.

Thanks. If anyone else finds this page looking for the same thing: it was on page 543 of the manual.

\begin{axis}[
x tick label style={/pgf/number format/fixed}]

It seems that if I have enter key in y label, e.g. multi lines y label. it will cause an error.
Is is possible to fix this problem?
I have many figures containing multiline labels.

Thanks a lot for your attention.

if iscell(axisLabels.y)
axisLabels.y = [ axisLabels.y{:} ];
end
