Re: [Gnuplot-info] formatting ytics

[Mahmood N. <nt_...@ya...>]

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 %%". 



 
Regards,
Mahmood

I sort of hate it when I hear can't be done...

set format y "%.sG"
