"E" for powers of 10

Hello,

For a publication in a scientific paper I made graph under JMP (file attached). Editor asks me to change the "E" for powers of 10. In other words, 3.4 × 10⁵ instead of 3.4e+5. Could you please tell me if there is an easy way to do this ?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

best regards

Sébastien

Hi Sébastien,

 

with JMP 17 the best way would be to copy a vector graph into another graphing program and change the axis as you need it.

 

JMP 18 will be released in a couple of weeks with an option for scientific notations to make this natively possible in JMP.  

 

Hope that helps.

Local( {supers = "⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹", d, parts},
	parts = Words( Format( value, "Scientific", width, dec ), "e" ); // split on e
	Substitute Into( parts[2], "+", "", "-", "⁻" ); // ignore +, superscript -
	For( d = 0, d <= 9, d++, // superscript each digit
		Substitute Into( parts[2], Char( d ), Substr( supers, d + 1, 1 ))
	);
	if (value == 0, "0", parts[1] || " × 10" || parts[2]); // add x10 unless 0
)

Hi. There was a previous discussion on how to achieve this: https://community.jmp.com/t5/The-Plot-Thickens/Reply-All-Scientific-notation-such-as-6-02-10-using-custom-axis/ba-p/559110. Essentially you use the script above to replace the e numbers with the x10 format. The link is to that previous discussion which gives more details.
