You can also set a custom formatter for each axis without hacking the
matplotlib code::
def custom_formatter(value):
return str(value)
gca().fmt_xdata = custom_formatter
gca().fmt_ydata = custom_formatter
We may want to add a cleaner (more obvious) API for this -- but there
might be good reasons that it works this way that I just don't know about.
