You don't need to modify the internals of axes.py -- just set the formatter on the axes instance itself. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=codex+set_major_formatter > Indeed, but it should really be fixed in the svn. We could perhaps be a little smarter about this, but consider that one can easily plot lines over images In [30]: imshow(np.random.rand(512,512)) Out[30]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x151c4f4c> In [31]: plot(np.arange(512), np.arange(512)) Since the plot can be a mix of images, polygons, lines, etc, it is not obvious that the formatter should be int. We could trap the case where you have only an image, no other data, and haven't set the extent, but it would be complicated because you may add data to the plot later and we would have to track that we had attempted to be clever but we should now undo our cleverness. Our general philosophy is to make is easy for you to customize when the default behavior doesn't suit you, so try import matplotlib.ticker as ticker ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%d')) .. and ditto for yaxis .. in addition to the ticks, you can customize how the coords appear in the toolbar by setting ax.fmt_xdata = ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%d') ... and ditto for fmt_ydata There are a variety of formatters available http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
