![XYZ].Tickformat

Corresponding Plot Keyword: [XYZ]Tickformat

Changes the default format for axis tick labels using FORTRAN-style format specifiers. For example, the following statement changes the default tick label format to floating-point numbers carried to two decimal places.

!X.Tickformat = '(F5.2)'

The specified width of the format is at least five characters; however, this width expands automatically to accommodate larger values.

For more information on format specifiers, see the section Explicitly Formatted Input and Output in the PV‑WAVE Programmer’s Guide. See also the section Example 3: Specifying Tick Label Formats in the PV‑WAVE User Guide.

Note that only the I (integer), F (floating-point), and E (scientific notation) format specifiers can be used with !X.Tickformat. Also, you cannot place a quoted string inside a tick format. For example, ("<", F5.2, ">") is an invalid !X.Tickformat specification.
