Most of my issues have been answered through previous posts, but this is such a specific problem, that I can't find the answer anywhere. I'm new to matplotlib and therefore learning some of the basic things. My code is:
import matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib.pylab as plb import matplotlib.font_manager as font_manager import numpy as np #Changing font at once ##font = {'family' : 'monospace', ## 'weight' : 'bold', ## 'size' : 18} ##matplotlib.rc('font', **font) #Changing font individually axis_font = {'fontname':'Arial', 'size':'18'} font_path = 'C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf' font_prop = font_manager.FontProperties(fname=font_path, size=20) x = np.genfromtxt('test.txt', skiprows=(3),usecols=(0),delimiter='',dtype=None) y = np.genfromtxt('test.txt',skiprows=(3),usecols=(1),delimiter='',dtype=None) z = np.genfromtxt('test.txt',skiprows=(3),usecols=(2),delimiter='',dtype=None) fig, ax1 = plt.subplots() ax1.errorbar(x, y, fmt = 'b-', linewidth=3.0, xerr = 0.0, yerr = z, label="Linear") ax1.set_xlabel('x-values', **axis_font) ax1.set_ylabel('linear y-values', color='b', **axis_font) for tl in ax1.get_yticklabels(): tl.set_color('b') ax1.legend(loc=2, prop=font_prop) for label in (ax1.get_xticklabels() + ax1.get_yticklabels()): label.set_fontname('Arial') label.set_fontsize(18) ax2 = ax1.twinx() y2 = np.exp(x) ax2.errorbar(x, y2, fmt = 'r-', linewidth=3.0, xerr = 0.0, yerr = 1000*z, label="Exponential") ax2.set_ylabel('exponential y-values', color='r', **axis_font) for tl in ax2.get_yticklabels(): tl.set_color('r') ax2.legend(loc=1, prop=font_prop) for label in ax2.get_yticklabels(): label.set_fontname('Arial') label.set_fontsize(18) #ax2.ticklabel_format(axis='y', style='sci', scilimits=(-2,2)) ax2.get_yaxis().get_major_formatter().set_powerlimits((2,2)) plb.savefig('test.png', bbox_inches='tight') plt.show() Which generates the plot shown below. test.png <http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/file/n44376/test.png> Now the question is about the line (two ways of doing the same): #ax2.ticklabel_format(axis='y', style='sci', scilimits=(-2,2)) ax2.get_yaxis().get_major_formatter().set_powerlimits((2,2)) As can be seen from the plot, the 1e4 has both a different size and color than the rest of the y-axis. I have tried so many methods, but it just remains the same no matter.
