Customize Plot Needs a Toggle for Scientific Notation

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
SasView 6.0.0 introduced the ability to customize the plot axis labels which is a great addition! However, when ones chooses to increase the font size, as one might want to do for presentations or graphs for papers, the default of using the full number rather than scientific notation (i.e. 1000 instead of 1E3) becomes unwieldly for plots that range over too many orders of magnitude. Ideally, it would be helpful to add a checkbox to allow scientific notation instead.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a checkbox to allow scientific notation vs the regular notation in the new dialog.

Describe alternatives you've considered
none - the above seems the simplest - but if there are better solutions that would be fine

I found this matplotlib documentation that would probably be what is needed?

Do we want scientific on the X axis as well? I don't think we do, but let's make sure.

So for Q, as in the plot above, I would also say no. However, I can foresee situations where it might be useful, for example, if you were plotting against Q^2 (as in Guinier Plot) or Q^4.
