[Matplotlib-users] axis default formatting with strange scientific-like notation

2012-08-19 Thread Christopher Graves
Using matplotlib 1.1.1. If one runs the following code: from pylab import * plot([19.185,19.187],[0.0009,0.0011],'b.') show() The x-axis is labelled 0.0005, 0.0010, 0.0015 etc +1.9184e1 This is unreadable and does not seem like a good default behavior! One can add gca().xaxis.set_major_form
