[gradsusr] %e format specifier

[Jennifer M Adams]

Jeff,
The 2-digit exponent is part of the C standard. Here’s what I found after a quick search on stackoverflow.com<http://stackoverflow.com>: "The exponent always contains at least two digits, and only as many more digits as necessary to represent the exponent.” So, the answer to your question is … no.

How should I manipulate the %e specifier in Grads so that it will only print 1 digit after the exponential (i.e., the order of magnitude). I have tried things like %.0e1, but that last digit seems to have no impact on the length of the order of magnitude portion of the string. The default is two digits. In other words, I want to change this type of tick marking behavior:

1.5e-02

to 1.5e-2

Can this be done?
