in contour plots there is the possibility to label each contour line separately. Normally the format of the label should be controlled by the numerical format control field. I choosed the scientific notation but unlike other plot types in contour plots the numbers will be written as 1,9E18 for instance. In other plot types the nicer format of 1,9 x 10\+(18) is used. Is there a possibility to change the scientific notation to the nicer format also in contour plots? Hints to solve this with LabTalk or OriginC are also welcome.
I could find no solution to this problem, so I added a suggestion (QA 8624) to our development database. Until this is resolved, I think you'll have to add labels manually if you need the "1 x 10" format.
