How to set the axis labels resolution?

In some cases axes labels with the default number (usally 3) decimals is not necessary, in other cases it is insufficient. Using an exponential format can solve this. How the format is set will be shown.

To set this format, go to Plot->Layout->Edit... and click the Axis tab. Select the desired axis, found on the list to the left, e.g. Bottom Axis. Then click on the Labels tab, and finally on the Format tab (see figure below).

The Values Format: list box has a list of used formats. You may also type your own format. To the left in the dialog box you see a list of the axes. Select the axis you want to change the format of (“left” is the y-axis and “bottom” is the x-axis).
