plt scale x-axis by constant factor f

How can I scale my x-axis [0,3000] for the data to now correspond/show up
as [0, 300]?

In xmgrace, this is done with a linear transformation, but I cannot seem
to find the command to do this with matplotlib.

Christian,

It sounds like you want to rescale your x axis values before plotting or use the x axis formatter. For the latter see

Ok, this really should be simple (and I am sure it is), but I cannot, for the life of me, find the appropriate documentation for it. We need better documentation about how to utilize the offset-text feature of tickers. It can be either a multiple offset or an additive offset.

In any case, I know there is a better way to do this, but here is a quick-n-dirty example that can get you where you want. Just modify the formatter used by the tickers to report the value as divided by 10.
