Hi Sven,

I already implemented this functionality last month in version 3.02.
In the release notes, you can read:

2001-09-20 15:24  brun

        * graf/: inc/TGaxis.h, src/TGaxis.cxx:
        Add a static member fgMaxDigits with the corresponding getter and
setter.
        fgMaxDigits is the maximum number of digits permitted for the axis
        labels above which the notation with 10^N is used.
        For example, to accept 6 digits number like 900000 on an axis
        call TGaxis::SetMaxDigits(6). The default value is 5.

Note that TGaxis::SetMaxDigits is a static function
