SUMMARY
In MATLAB, when plotting functions, the software automatically rounds significant digits, resulting in values like 2.0 being displayed as 2. To maintain the desired number of significant digits, users can modify the XTickLabel property of the graph. By setting XTickLabel to a cell array of strings, such as {'1.8';'1.9';'2.0';'2.1';'2.2'}, MATLAB will display the specified values without rounding. This method requires manual entry of all tick labels but effectively preserves the formatting.
