title: Suppress exponential formatting in figure ticks
body: <p>Tick labels for ticks bigger than about 10'000, get formatted to 1x10^4 for example. Whereas the exponential part appears above the corresponding axes. This misbehavior has been well described on <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/270088" rel="noreferrer">on matlab central</a> as well, but without a solution. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>

  <pre><code>set(gca, 'YTickLabel',get(gca,'YTick'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>did not work when applied to bar3, as can be seen on the following figure. </p>
