Comment(by jason):
Matplotlib has very nice pluggable formatting framework for ticks. The
standard formatter is this one:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.ScalarFormatter
We can set it not to use scientific notation, or set the cutoff, or write
our own. Or we could use the FuncFormatter with our own (user-
overridable) function. Or we could just let the user pass a printf-style
format string and use another matplotlib pluggable formatter. Some
examples are:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/newscalarformatter_demo.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/custom_ticker1.html
I think that once the matplotlib people get back to me about fixing the
bug or my misunderstanding where axis labels aren't correct for top or
right axes, we can post some images to sage-devel and move this forward on
a vote.
