Hi Everyone,
I don't like the default scientific formatting in matplotlib, IMHO the
format of having a zero after the exponent is a waste of space in my opinion
...
What I mean is that mpl is writing zero as:
0.0e+00 or 1.2e-03. IMHO it would suffice just to do 0.0 and 1.2e-3, which
take less space and looks better (again, imho).
In any case, I would like to access the strings of the yticklables in my
plots and I discovered I can do the following:
setp(axs[2].set_yticklabels(['0.0','2.0E-4','4.0E-4','6.0E-4','8.0E-4','1.0E-3','1.2E-3']))
Which works, but forces me to first look at the output and the redraw
everything with manually feeding the values.
if there is a way to loop on this text values before plotting I will be
happy to know.
I tried doing this:
In [1]: from pylab import *
In [2]: f=figure()
In [3]: ax=f.add_subplot()
In [4]: ax.plot([1,2,3,4,5])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
/home/oz/<ipython console> in <module>()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'plot'
In [5]: ax=f.add_subplot(111)
In [6]: ax.plot([1,2,3,4,5])
Out[6]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x95ecdcc>]
In [7]: a=ax.get_xticklabels()
In [8]: a[0].get_text()
Out[8]: ''
In [9]: draw()
In [10]: a[0].get_text()
In [10]: a[0].get_text()
Out[10]: ''
In [11]: show()
....
KeyboardInterrupt:
In [12]: a[0].get_text()
Out[12]: u'0.0
As can be seen, the text string is empty before calling show, which is
forcing me to show the image . Is there a way to access these labales with
out calling show() ?
Thanks in advance,
