Done in svn 6148. I called the kwarg 'scilimits' to emphasize that it works with the 'sci' style; if there are comments to the effect that I should have called it 'powerlimits' for consistency with the corresponding ScalarFormatter method, I can change it. With the change in svn, instead of the line I added above, your call to ticklabel_format would be: ax.ticklabel_format(style='sci', scilimits=(0,0), axis='y') Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
