Comment(by schymans):

 It seems that the problem of cutting off axes labels of large numbers is
 just a matter of when the axis switches to scientific notation. Consider
 this:

 {{{sage: plot(2^(20*x),(x,1,2.))}}}

 Only numbers > 1.e+11 are converted to scientific notation, while the
 smaller ones get cut off. This could be fixed by changing to scientific
 notation at much smaller numbers. Actually, the change from decimal to
 scientific notation half way across the axis is something that bothered me
 in MMA already. Could you either let the user decide which notation to use
 or make it the same for the whole axis, depending on whether the largest
 (or smallest) number requires it?

 Just a few ideas for when you get to fixing the matplotlib tick stuff.

 Cheers
 Stan
