Works great Eric.
Is this in the documentation somewhere?
Thanks,

My values on the vertical axis are large, but the range is small:

plot([3004,3005,3006])

By default this plots 0,1,2 as tickmarks along the vertical axis, and

then at the top of the vertical axis is prints “+3.005e3”.

I prefer to simply get 3004,3005,3006 at the tickmarks.

If you are using a recent mpl, try following your plot command with

ticklabel_format(useOffset=False)

Probably only in the change notes and in the docstrings.

    If you are using a recent mpl, try following your plot command with
