[Matplotlib-users] Change axis's scale
Hi all, I have several graph to create and the position on the x axis can vary quite a lot. Most of the time I'm quite happy with the default behavior but when my x values are very high matplotlib automatically change the ticks and set a scale on the axis (see screenshot) http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6834/chab052195802198642shif.png I looking for a way to change the default behavior to get a scale in 10E** instead of some random scale. Is there a simple way of doing that?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Problems using bar() with left containing an array of float
Thanks Friedrich, I though the width was calculated on the fly. does it make sense to use something like plt.bar(bins, nb_per_bin, width=(max(bins)-min(bins)) / (1.5*len(bins))) If I want something more generic Tim Friedrich Romstedt wrote: You must give a proper :param width: argument: plt.bar(bins, height, 0.01) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axes_api.html#matplotlib.axes.Axes.bar Friedrich 2010/3/25 timothee cezard tcez...@staffmail.ed.ac.uk: Hi all, I'm trying to plot a distribution using bar() but when I'm setting the left variable to as a sequence of float some of the bar look weird.
