Re: [matplotlib-devel] Improve ticks with an offset readability

FYI: Thanks for the help John. This is case where having path.simplify = True causes the plot to be incorrect. Attached are two different images (not quite the same data as the original post- but the same affect). One with path.simplify as true and one as false. Notice the bottom right plot
