You cannot limit it directly to a given number, but you can make it stick closer to the max number by giving it more latitude in selecting what can be a tick. You do this via the "steps" kwarg. > > 2. About the scientific notation of ScalarFormatter, can I fix the > number of decimal places?

It sounds like you need to use a FormatStrFormatter instead of a ScalarFormatter.
