Hi, I have a few questions on formatting axis labels, when using the ScalarFormatter class (which appears to be the basic standard).
Firstly, is there a general method to change the font size of all labels on the axis, other than looping over them such as in: >>> [x.set_fontsize(10) for x in plt.gca().xaxis.get_ticklabels()] Secondly, when displaying the power limits with very large numbers on the axis, how do you change the font size of the displayed power limit? it does not seem to be tied into the axis ticklabels lists, and I do not know how to access it. Lastly, some questions on the defaults: The documentation mentions that the default power limits were changed from (-3, 4) to (-7, 7). I'm curious as to the reasoning for this, because 10^7 seems an excessively large number of digits and altogether a much worse default. In addition, the fact that using math text for the exponent is turned off by default (displaying 1e3 instead of the much more appropriate $10^3$) is also puzzling. In relation to this exponential display, is there a better way to turn it on, on an existing plot, other than the (seemingly undocumented): >>> plt.gca().yaxis.get_major_formatter()._useMathText=True Thanks!
