3d plot scientific notation problem on x and y axis.

I am trying to show the numbers at x and y axis in scientific notation but it does not work.
Can anyone help me.
Thank you in advance.
Here is the code and fs is 60 000 000.

from matplotlib.ticker import ScalarFormatter

formatter = ScalarFormatter(useMathText=True)
formatter.set_scientific(True)
formatter.set_powerlimits((-1,3))

fig1 = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig1.gca(projection=‘3d’, azim=0)
ax1.xaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)

ax1.yaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)

tau_val, freq_val = npy.meshgrid(npy.float64(tau_val)/fs, npy.float64(freq_val)*fs)
ax1.plot_surface(tau_val, freq_val, caf, rstride=1, cstride=1, cmap=cm.jet, linewidth=0, antialiased=False)

plt.show()

Burak,

This is because in an Axes3D object, the .xaxis and .yaxis refer to the axis for the draw space, not the the 3d projected axis. I know it is confusing, but the axis objects that you want are called “.w_xaxis” and “.w_yaxis” and “.w_zaxis”.

I hope that helps!
