Hi,

I'm plotting figures for a series of data set and I want to keep the 
looking consistent with each other. Currently I'm using MaxNLocator and 
ScalarFormatter but still,

1. Is there a way to limit the minimum number of ticks for MaxNLocator? 
Currently, if I set nbins=5, the number of ticks varies from 2 to 5. The 
variation is too large for me. I tried FixedLocator but then I lost the 
ability to set "ylim" (or "xlim") automatically.

2. About the scientific notation of ScalarFormatter, can I fix the 
number of decimal places? Currently, the notation will be "2x10^-5" in 
some figures, while "2.50x10^-5" in other figures. I need all tick 
labels to have the same number of decimal places.

I've searched the online documents for hours but cann't find the 
answer... any ideas?

Thanks!

-- 
Sincerely yours
Xing
