How to set the decimal digits of YTickLabel in figure? I tried some ways, but numbers with '%.4f' was too long, numbers with '%.2e' not good, either.
The following figure may be helpful for my question.

The left one uses
set (gca, 'YTickLabel', num2str (get (gca, 'YTick').' , '%.4f) )
The central one uses
set (gca, 'YTickLabel', num2str (get (gca, 'YTick').' , '%.2e) )
And the right one uses the default settings.
What I really want is as following figure.
