Y- axis marking

I am making various graphs in which the x axis consists of a time span of 0 to 2000 hours, my y axis consists of a variable that ranges from 0 to 11500. I am only interested in the gap between 9100 to 11500, and i can get that by using the ylim operation, however my problem is with apearance. i automatically get all my y axis variables labeled in scientific notation (ex. i get 9.4e003 instead of 9400), i am presenting the graphs and i would rather not have the y axis variables in scientific notation , i want (10000 instead of 1.0e004) how can i change this?

Get it and reset it:

x = plot(1:100,rand(1,100)*120000);
ylim([8000 10000]);
set(gca,'yticklabel',get(gca,'yticklabel'))

that isn't working for me, i end up not getting any labels and some strange occilating curves on my graph, is there some other way to modify the script?

[Sean de Wolski]

It's random data just for the prupsoe of the example (th eoscillations) if you copy and paste the above, are the yticklabels as you expect?

[Mario]

okay i understand the random data, but i am still not getting any yticklabels.

Use the technique described here: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-16KCT/?solution=1-16KCT
