Method setNumberFormat

! Sets the number format for the numbers in tick labels. This \a formatCode is an extended version of the format code used e.g. by QString::number() and QLocale::toString(). For reference about that, see the "Argument Formats" section in the detailed description of the QString class. \a formatCode is a string of one, two or three characters. The first character is identical to the nor
