Regards,
I pipe data to gnuplot from my Lisp, but gnuplot (at least the version I
have) doesn't like the s,d,l exponent markers. So I tried to use
(format stream "~e" number)
which works if number is a double-float or number is a float and
*read-default-float-format* is double-float. But if number
is a fixnum then the 's' marker appears in the printed
representation.
I've read that it is possible to specify explicitly the exponent
marker for ~e or ~g, but could not get it to work. Any ideas?
The best would be to locally mask the float format directives
of FORMAT so that they always print 'e' as the exponent marker.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tunc

Doesn't something like the following work?
(format t "~,,,,,,'ze" 45)
=> 4.5z+1
(format t "~,,,,,,'ze" 45f0)
=> 4.5z+1
(format t "~,,,,,,'ze" 45d0)
=> 4.5z+1
Works fine on CMUCL.

My ignorance, I'd been trying
(format t "~,,,,,,ee" 45)
and
(format t "~,,,,,,#\ee" 45)
