title: Is it possible in matlab to explicitly format the output numbers?
body: <p>I know about MATLAB's <em>format long</em>, <em>format short</em>, <em>eng ...</em> and so on. But short and long will always display a predefined number of decimals, with an exponent, and for example, <em>format bank</em> will display always 2 decimals.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an option to put your explicit format, in a "fortran way", like f8.3 --> 1234.678 ?</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a way to display numbers with 4 decimal points, and the rest ahead of the decimal point, with no exponent.</p>
