I am a new user to matplotlib, .. it's great. One thing I cannot work out is the axis number presentation. Cannot find any documentation about how to control the presentation of the axis number.
Currently using the default TKAgg plotting GUI backend. It seems the axis will show up to 3 digits, then switch to Scientific notation. (10, 100, 1e3, 1e4, 1e5 etc) However I would prefer it would present in enginering notation (10, 100, 1e3, 10e3, 100e3, 1e6, 10e6 ...etc) While I could handle some of this scaling before plotting (make numbers in the Milli-Seconds range), it becomes non-intutive when I zoom in on details (in the Nano-Second range), and the number becomes 1.23e-4 of a milli sec. I'd prefer to just plot Seconds, and let Matplotlib scale the number to one of mS, uS, nS, as appropriate for the graph range, and zoom level. Is this outside the scope of the supplied GUI widget? Do I need to start thinking of using the plot widget directly, create my own GUI interface, and writing code to handle the scaling of axis in the way I like?
