I also had some trouble with exponents in an axis, getting
0.0 to 3.0 on the axis, with +1.998e3. I wanted the years
1998 to 2001 instead. I solved this using the following code
(with the solution bits commented out):
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
# from matplotlib.ticker import FormatStrFormatter
x = array([ 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 ])
y = array([ 2.3, 4.5, 2.6, 7.2 ])
# ax=subplot(111)
plot(x,y)
## Needed to get 2001, not 1+2e3:
# majorFormatter=FormatStrFormatter('%d')
# ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(majorFormatter)
# show()
