Hi Is there anyway to rename the y values from scientific to characters? for example "3e+9" to "3G". There are some formatting methods with '%' but I can not find which one can do the job. Regards, Mahmood |

>set format y "%c" It just show G G G M there is no number Regards, Mahmood ________________________________ From: Theo <th...@gm...> To: gnu...@li...

Mahmood, gnuplot formatting is very similar to C, so you can do just about anything you like. There is a good outline of the possibilities here. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/fprintf/ HTH, John On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 9:48 AM, Mahmood Naderan <nt_...@ya...> wrote: > >>set format y "%c" > It just show > G > G > G > M > there is no number |

There are better examples here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/ Best, John On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 9:48 AM, Mahmood Naderan <nt_...@ya...> wrote: > >>set format y "%c" > It just show > G > G > G > M > there is no number |

Yes I know that but these specifiers are good for hex and scientific numbers (for example 0x7F, 0x7f, 2E+2, e2+2). None of them convert a 3,000,000,000 number to 3G. I think I have to write a script to preprocess that.

You only need to read all of "help set format", including the examples, and use what you learnt there. |

I sort of hate it when I hear can't be done... set format y "%.sG" John On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 10:25 AM, Mahmood Naderan <nt_...@ya...> wrote: > Yes I know that but these specifiers are good for hex and scientific numbers > (for example 0x7F, 0x7f, 2E+2, e2+2).

Thanks a lot. I was writing a python script to preprocess the values! Just want to know how someone should conclude "%.sG" for such formatting? From the manual http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs_4.2/node184.html, we read: If the format string is omitted, the format will be returned to the default "% g" ... %e or %E exponential notation; an "e" or "E" before the power %g or %G the shorter of %e (or %E) and %f ... The default format for both axes is "% g", but other formats such as "%.2f" or "%3.0em" are often desirable .... Characters not preceded by "%" are printed verbatim. Thus you can include spaces and labels in your format string, such as "%g m", which will put " m" after each number. If you want "%" itself, double it: "%g %%".

I think what Mahmood was looking for, e.g.: set yrange [1e-18:1e18] set ytics 10 set format y "%.2s %c" As Bernhard wrote... also look e.g. at the example in the Gnuplot 4.6 PDF manual, page 113, example 6.
