[Matplotlib-users] numeric format of pylab.save()

[Vidar G. <vid...@37...>]

can numeric accuracy be controlled with the pylab.save() command?
i'd like to change the number format and number of digits.

default output is:

3.161733506051822600e-001

examples of what i'm thinking:

3.1617335060e-001
0.31617335
0.3161

See the help for 'save',
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-save, in particular
the fmt keyword argument, eg

  save('test3.out', x, fmt='%1.4f')  

Hope this helps,
