When I try to plot using ipython, for some reason no matter what i try the y axis does not get the right format.

I see that the range is between 3528 and 3536. But somehow it shows the same weirdly. ANd it shows something at the top as +3.528e3. HOw do i change this to just display similar to the x-axis format?

enter image description here

here is the code I have

            plt.figure()
            plt.plot(all_strks, all_fwds, 'o')
            plt.plot(all_strks, fwdline)

            #ax = plt.gca()
            #ax.set_ylim(all_fwds.min(),all_fwds.max())

            #x1,x2,y1,y2 = plt.axis()
            #print x1,x2,all_fwds.min(),all_fwds.max()
            #plt.axis([x1,x2,all_fwds.min(),all_fwds.max()])

  • Please show code demonstrating the problem. – BrenBarn Jun 05 '14 at 19:34

Set the offset vale false. Here is all the info you need. Here is the tutorial link.

ax = plt.gca()
ax.ticklabel_format(useOffset=False,useMathText=None)

Or as shown in the example, 

from matplotlib.ticker import OldScalarFormatter 
gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(ScalarFormatter(useOffset=False))
gca().yaxis.set_major_formatter(ScalarFormatter(useOffset=False))
