<p>PyXPlot’s default convention of displaying numbers in a format such as </p><pre>
(2+3i) metres
</pre><p>is well-suited for creating text which is readable by human users, but is less well-suited for creating text which can be copied and pasted into another calculation in another PyXPlot terminal, or for creating text which could be used in a L<sup style="font-variant:small-caps; margin-left:-0.3em">a</sup>T<sub style="text-transform:uppercase; margin-left:-0.2em">e</sub>X text label on a plot. For this reason, the <tt class="tt">set numerics display</tt> command<a name="a0000000460" id="a0000000460"></a> allows the user to choose between three different ways in which numbers can be displayed: </p><p> <tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">set numerics display natural</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">print phy_c</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">299792 km/s</tt><br /><tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">set numerics display typeable</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">print phy_c</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">299792*unit(km/s)</tt><br /><tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">set numerics display latex</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">pyxplot> <b class="bf">print phy_c</b></tt><br /><tt class="tt">299792 km/s</tt> </p><p>The first case is the default way in which PyXPlot displays numbers. The second case produces text which forms a valid algebraic expression which could be pasted into another PyXPlot calculation. The final case produces a string of L<sup style="font-variant:small-caps; margin-left:-0.3em">a</sup>T<sub style="text-transform:uppercase; margin-left:-0.2em">e</sub>X text which could be used as a label on a plot. </p></div>
