This is controlled by the "set_scientific" method of the ScalarFormatter http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter For example:: In [101]: ax = gca() In [102]: ax.plot(np.arange(10)*2e20) Out[102]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x99532ac>] In [103]: draw() In [104]: formatter = ax.yaxis.get_major_formatter() In [105]: formatter.set_scientific(False) In [106]: draw() > 2. option to specify the number to be subtracted manually (to make it > a round number). I don't think there is support for this, but it would be a nice feature:: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#contributing-howto > 3. option to specify the precision or scientific notation of both the > ticks and the number to be added. You can control at what level the fallover to scientific notation occurs with the set_power_limits method of the formatter:: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter.set_powerlimits This is also exposed as an rc param:: axes.formatter.limits : -7, 7 # use scientific notation if log10 # of the axis range is smaller than the # first or larger than the second See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/customizing.html Hope this helps!
