If it were just a matter of scientific notation, you would be able to
use the ticklabel_format Axes method with style='plain' to turn it
off.
The real problem, though, is that an offset is being used. With
mpl
from svn, you can also turn that off with the ticklabel_format()
function or method, but with released versions you need something a
little more arcane, e.g.
import pyplot as plt
plt.scatter(values5, values6)
ax = plt.gca()
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(plt.ScalarFormatter(useOffset=False))
#ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(plt.MaxNLocator(nbins=6, steps=[1,2,5,10]))
plt.draw()
The commented-out line reduces the number of tick marks; you may want
to
do this because without the offset, the tick labels can get a bit
long
and crowded.
