Mathematical function

Hi all,

I just want to know if there is one Java function able to return a scientifical representation as a string for big big long ?

For example i give it 100 000 000 an it returns "10 E7".

I need such a function because i am drawing a chart using SWT and label graduation can be very long and can become unreadable. SO i want to shortcut them. Does any one have got an other idea ?

Thanks.

Manu
