Am I using xtickformat incorrectly?

[tomherbig]

I am trying to refine the x-axis labels in my graphs using the xtickformat command but something isn't working as expected.

For 2 digits after the decimal point, all is fine. I use 

xtickformat('$%.2f');

which results in these correct axis labels:

For 3 digits after the decimal point, things are no longer as they should be. The command

xtickformat('$%.3f');

 now results in the following unwanted exponential notation in the axis labels:

However, fprintf with the same format specification still gives the expected result:

fprintf("$%.3f\r", 0.001)

$0.001

Am I using xtickformat incorrectly or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,

Are you sure you are in the right forum?

Hi Günther,

No, I'm not sure. I haven't used the fora very much and don't really know what goes where. Would you have a suggestion as to where to post this instead?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi,

I can't imagine in which function of Fusion 360 (CAD software) your request could occur.

OK, that's very embarrassing! I had a problem with Matlab and mistakenly went to a Fusion 360 - probably because that was the open tab.

Thanks for being gentle with me 🙂
