Plot: x axis and y axis values with commas as 1000 separators

This is a question about values of x axis and y axis in the plot.

First,

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/466944-how-can-i-prevent-scientific-notation-on-my-axes-in-matlab-r2015b-and-later

tells how to disable scientific notations.

Then, the x axis and y axis will be like '1000000' that is harder to read. I want to have commas as 1000 separaters that is '1,000,000.' Please advise.

You can format the tick labels using the TickLabelFormat property of the axis. For example:

ax = axes('YScale','log');
plot(ax,1:10,logspace(3,6,10));
ax.YAxis.Exponent = 0;
ax.YAxis.TickLabelFormat = '%,.0f';

See here for details:

(edit) Taking a closer look at the answer you linked, what you need is the comma in the format.
