Dear All,
I've figured out that I can use LinearLocator and set ylim manually to
fix the number of ticks. But I still don't know to set the display
precision of the scientific notation. Currently I can only work around
this by choosing proper limits and number of ticks manually. Is there
anyway to fore the display precision (i.e, "3.33x10^-6" instead of
"3.333 x10^-6") ?
Thanks very much!
Sincerely yours
Xing
