Hello,
I want to color scale legend range to be a regular number, not in scientific notation.
For instance, instead of 1e1 I would like 10.
How can I change this so I alway see regular numbers?
Thank you.

- Sources/ Alphabetical/ Wavelet.
- Representation Surface. Color by RTData.
- View/ Color Map Editor.
- Click on the little color legend, with the ‘e’.
- Advanced. (Little gear, upper right)
- Now, change the Range Label format. It is in normal printf format.
Basically, change %-#6.1e to %-#6.1f.

Thank you for your reply.
I can’t find the Range Label Format after clicking on the gear item (upper right).
Could you please add a screen shoot so I can see that option?

Scroll down, or expand the size of the Edit Color Legend Properties.
