How can I make tick labels on my plot follow the short eng format in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)?

At the command line, I can specify display formats such as short, long, shorteng, or longeng. I would like to have the tick labels on my plots follow those formats as well.

One method of specifying custom formats involves collecting tick values, reformatting them, and then applying the reformatted values to the plot axes. The attached file demonstrates this method.
