Hello,
Is there a way to change the resolution of x and y readings (while hovering the mouse inside the canvas area) from the status bar of a plot window?
Currently x show 2 or 3 digits after 0, while y only increments at 0.1 or 1 depends on the number.
Can we set these based on our needs?
Thank you.

There are attributes ax.fmt_xdata and ax.fmt_ydata. These are None by
default, in which case the axis tick formatter is used. Write the
function you want to format the data, and set the attr to override the
default
def myformat(x):
return '%1.4f'%x
ax.fmt_xdata = myformat

Hmm, Thank you for the guidance John 
def myformat(x):
return ‘%1.2f’%x
axes().fmt_xdata = myformat works like you said.
How can I join x and y in one function? The following line gives me a syntax error.
def myformat(x, y):
return ‘%1.2f’%x, ‘%1.2f’%y
axes().(fmt_xdata, fmt_ydata) = myformat
Since the function will return a tuple with two values could they be assigned directly in the give fashion?

Nop John,
I was just wondering whether my assignment syntactically correct in Python or a missing feature in matplotlib.
