[Matplotlib-users] About the scientific ticker format on pylab plot

[Ying L. <ube...@gm...>]

Hi,

I want to know how to set the scientific ticker format in pylab. I know
that I can set it to the form of 1e21, but what I want is something like
x10^21, as follows:

[image: Inline image 1]     ----->               [image: Inline image 2]


Can anybody tell me how to do this? I searched on this for a long time, but
still I did not find the answer.

Sorry to bother those who are not interested.

Best regards

Execute this before plotting:

rcParams['axes.formatter.use_mathtext'] = True

or set it in your matplotlibrc file.
