scientific numbering on mplot3d

Hi all,
I am plotting a 3d surface but at the axis scientific notation works
but I can not see the exponential part at the end of the axis.
I mean it does simplifies
9.9e^5 15e^5 …
to
9.9 15
but there is no e^5 at the end of the axis that you need to multiply each value
I am tired of manually adding that to the plots. How can I automatically add the divider to the top of each axis.
Thank you in advance

Here is the code

  formatter = ScalarFormatter(useMathText=True, useOffset=True)
  formatter.set_scientific(True)

  fig = plt.figure(figsize=(21,9.5))
  ax = fig.add_subplot(1,2,1, projection='3d', azim=180)
  ax.set_xlabel('Doppler')
  ax.set_ylabel('Delay')
  ax.set_zlabel('')
 
  ax.w_xaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
  ax.w_yaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)

Burak,

I can confirm your bug. I have traced it down and it appears that printing the offset text (the ‘e^5’) is not even implemented. I will look into seeing how to implement this in mplot3d.
