[Matplotlib-users] Too long tick labels

2010-10-21 Thread Dmitry Vinokurov
Hello, When I plot graph with values 10^5 and more at y axis, the labels are too long and run out of the picture borders. So I get "60" instead of "160" at y axis or something like this. Tried to use majorFormatter = ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%e') ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(major

Dear All, Please consider the snippet at the end of the email. Admittedly, I am still quite cumbersome with the matplotlib pipeline (I am a bit unsure about how to manipulate objects and their properties). The snippet below produces two plots. I have some questions (1) for both plots: how do I add

Hi Frederick, thanks for your answer. The option *faceted* I already knew but this is not exactly what I want. Perhaps it would be possible to draw the grid without labels. My goal is to draw a grid with labels above the data. Similar to the example 'demo curvelinear grid'. Regards Stefan
