OK, your persistence is admirable. You are still asking the wrong
question and applying the wrong solution, but dog-golly, you've earned
the right to do it the wrong way!
from matplotlib.ticker import FuncFormatter
def myformatter(x, pos=None):
return '%1.3f'%(x/4.)
ax = subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, y)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(FuncFormatter(myformatter))
Now all your ticks are magically divided by 4.
But really, simply scaling your x input data is the way to go. If we
want to move this conversation forward, you should try instead
plot(x/4, y)
and then explain as clearly as possibly this doesn't do what you want.
