Using matplotlib 1.1.1.
If one runs the following code:

 from pylab import *

plot([19.185,19.187],[0.0009,0.0011],'b.')

show()

The x-axis is labelled 0.0005, 0.0010, 0.0015 etc  +1.9184e1

This is unreadable and does not seem like a good default behavior!

One can add
gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(FormatStrFormatter('$%g$'))
before "show()"
to obtain an x-axis labelled 19.1845, 19.185, 19.1855, etc.

Can one change the default label formatting behavior with a matplotlib rc?
However, I would not want to e.g. override the 10^-3, 10^-2, etc when using
log axes.

Best regards,
Chris
