ytick label format

Hi

I’ve been trying to generate certain plots, but sometimes I get strange additions to the yticks in the plots. I’ve been wondering if there is a way to force matplotlib to not do that, and only use multiplicative corrections to the plots (
i.e., just the x1e-3 for example and not the +4.519x10).

Any help will be very much appreciated! thanks

i.e., see picture… just the x1e-3 for example and not the +4.519x10).

Rodrigo,
This behaviour is controlled by the formatter of the yaxis. Choose one
formatter that suits you, or define your own.
