Display enhancement of very large numbers on vertical axis

[massimo ceraolo]

I don't know whether there is already a ticket on this.
I could find one.

In OMEdit, when plots are made of very large (or very small) variables, the plot display is far from optimal.
Consider for instance the example in the plot supplied.
The shown variable that ranges between -800.000 and +800.000. The numbers on the vertical axis are visually too large: 8 characters for the first and 7 for the second one.

This is suboptimal because it uses too much of the valuable plot space.
To me, the optimal solution might be either to write the numbers on the axes between -800 and 800 and adding somewhere in the vertical axis "*10^{3" or -8 and 8 and label the axis with "*10}5"

I mean, when numbers are very large or very small, they should be displayed in scientific or engineering format, and the corresponding power of ten is to be put once on the axis.
