Hello David,

Perhaps you could write 1mln, etc insteat of 1e+06?
Otherwise, you can manually position text (of different size) over your label
(e.g. all your ticks are 10 (tens) and then add an option text() with
a proper power and a guessed location) This is not robust and is a
pain if you need to do this routinely, but if it is only once - it
might work.

see:

help added_text_options

It is much simplier if you can be satisfied with the "^" symbol in
10^8, but is quite hard if you want it look like 10 with an upper
index 8.

Best regards, Sergiy
