I'm not sure if there's an easier way still, but this works: from matplotlib.ticker import Formatter class SciFormatter(Formatter): def __call__(self, x, pos=None): return "%0.2e" % x ax = plt.gca() ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(SciFormatter()) plt.draw() Angus. -- AJC McMorland Post-doctoral research fellow Neurobiology, University of Pittsburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
