When displaying x-axis labels, show as scaled, how to

My plot returns x axis labels with values 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02,...., 0.045 when it plots something. X-axis is time axis. My plot itself is fine, y-axis label is fine too.

In the x-axis, I want the label numbers to display in a scaled version: scaled by 10exp(-9). I want it to display like this: 0, 5, 10, 15... , 45 (x exp -9) Now, I am labeling my x-axis as "Time(myu.s)", but I want to be able to label as "Time (ns)".

Gurus, please help.

Thanks.

curticks = get(gca, 'XTick');
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', cellstr( num2str( round(1e9 * curticks(:)) ) ) )

Thank you, Walter. I used 1e3 instead of 1e9 and now my x-axis marks are showing as 0, 5, 10, 15... For the text labels I display Time (ns), and that makes sense. Task accomplished!

Thanks a lot, again.
