Dear All, I've figured out that I can use LinearLocator and set ylim manually to fix the number of ticks. But I still don't know to set the display precision of the scientific notation. Currently I can only work around this by choosing proper limits and number of ticks manually. Is there anyway to fore the display precision (i.e, "3.33x10^-6" instead of "3.33333333333 x10^-6") ?
Thanks very much! Sincerely yours Xing On 05/05/2012 01:13 AM, stecue wrote: > Hi, > > I'm plotting figures for a series of data set and I want to keep the > looking consistent with each other.
