I have a loglog plot. The yaxis tick marks are labeled very strangely: 10^-1.3 , 10^-1.4 ,etc. How do I change the tick marks from this weird notation to normal decimals?

I have a loglog plot. The yaxis tick marks are labeled very strangely: 10^-1.3 , 10^-1.4 ,etc. How do I change the tick marks from this weird notation to normal decimals? I've attached an image of the figure. Note that the y axis tick marks are NOT scientific notation, but rather something else (10^-1.3 = 0.0501).

here's my plot code lines:

figure
loglog(RE,f_m, 'b--o','LineWidth',2);
hold on
loglog(RE,f_plus, 'r--+','LineWidth',1.5);
loglog(RE,f_minus, 'm--*','LineWidth',1.5);
loglog(RE,f_expect, 'k','LineWidth',2);
hold off
grid on

I'm new to asking questions here, so I apologize if I'm not within the normal "rules".

Thanks for any feedback!

Which MATLAB version are you using? There were some relevant changes in R2014b, and R2015b.

I am using MATLAB Version: 8.3.0.532 (R2014a) (STUDENT) on Windows 7.

But nevermind! I have answered my own question...

All I had to do was add the following lines to my code:

yticks = get(gca,'YTick');
set(gca,'YTickLabel',yticks);

Not sure why this works, or if it will work in all scenarios, but it worked for me. Sorry to waste your time, but maybe someone else will have this question later some time....

Cheers!

add these lines to the code:

yticks = get(gca,'YTick');
set(gca,'YTickLabel',yticks);
