Hopefully a simple one for you. I would like to edit the frame ticks on my plot such that they are in "power" form. As it stands I try:

FrameTicks -> {{{10^-9, 10^-8, 10^-7, 10^-6, 10^-5}, None}, {Automatic, None}}

This seems to compile with awful fraction formatting, is there a way to format it as 10^power and keep it that way?

Thanks in advance

Ticks accept several ways of formatting. In your case I'd go for pairs of values of the form {position, label}. Wrap your labels in quotes, like so {10^-9, "10^-9"}. – LLlAMnYP May 10 '15 at 20:10

This might be what you want. You could also look into the CustomTicks package which can be pretty useful. – Virgil May 10 '15 at 20:13
Thanks both. Both solutions are great! – user27119 May 10 '15 at 20:19

Shall I close this as a duplicate of (5369) then? – Mr.Wizard May 10 '15 at 20:39
Yes I think so, unless this thread would serve as a waypoint to the solution? – user27119 May 10 '15 at 20:58
There is no "unless" as (closed) duplicates themselves serve as additional entry points for the solutions. They are not normally deleted. – Mr.Wizard May 11 '15 at 04:27
