Folks,
I need your wisdom about ticks labels on ordinates for large numbers (>1e4). 
The default behavior I have (0.87.4) is to display tick labels as "%.1f", and 
write a string "x1e+..." above the top left corner of the current axes.

- When using "yaxis.tick_right()", the "x1e..." string stays above the top 
left corner. That becomes an issue when using two different scales. How could 
I force the 'mantissa' string to be on the same side as the axis it depends 
on ?

- How could I change the number of decimals being displayed (for example, 
"%.3f" instead of "%.1f"), while keeping the mantissa string ? (I tried a 
"FormatStrFormatter("%.3f"), it's not what I want. With "Funcformatter(lambda 
x,pos: "%.3f"%(x/1000)))", I lose the mantissa string...)

- Personally, I'm not keen on "3.0 x1e+4", I prefer "30 x1e+3". Is there a way 
to get that ?

I guess that with a bit of trial/error with FuncFormatter and fig.text, I 
should be able to get what I want, but I wanted to check whether there was 
some easier solutions.

Thanks in advance for your help


P.
