The following produces a plot with x ticks of "0, 1, 2, 3 .... 10" with the "x10^7" displayed once in the lower right (similar for the y ticks)

y = [0:10e6:100e6];
plot(y,y)

I would like to be able to plot this in engineering format, meaning the x ticks would be "0, 10, 20, 30 .... 100" with the "x10^6" still displayed only once in the lower right. I have so far been unsuccessful and in my search have not uncovered any properties that make this possible. Any help is appreciated.

Also, possibly the plt() contribution to the Matlab File Exchange would handle
this situation better.
