format the x-axis at plotting (have x10^5) at the end

Hello,

I have a quick question: how do I have matlab print the x-axis in the form of say: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then at the end it prints x10^5 (the five appears as a superscript)

Thanks

Can you get it to work by using a combination of the way you define the x-axis and the XTick property?

   x = 1e5:1e5:5e5;
   y = randn(5,1);
   plot(x,y,'b-o')
   set(gca,'xtick',1e5:1e5:5e5);

Thank you :)

But why when I do the same for 0-10,000 using: set(gca,'xtick',0:1e3:1e4) it give me the same original scale using 1000, 2000, and so on?
