Re: [Matplotlib-users] formatting axis to percent notation

(I mention it only because the double percent trick is non-obvious to many newcomers to Python's string formatting syntax.)

I would like it to show it in percent notation (e.g. 0% to 100%). How do I do this in matplotlib? You can either multiply your x data by 100 (where x is a numpy array) plot(x*100, y) or set a custom formatter from matplotlib.ticker import FuncFormatter def myfunc(x, pos=0): return '%1.2f''%(100*x) ax = subplot(111) ax.plot(x, y) ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(FuncFormatter(myfunc)) There is a section on custom tick formatting in the user's guide on the web site JDH JDH - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
