[Matplotlib-users] turn off exponential notation in pylab plots

[Alan G I. <ai...@am...>]

User to user question:
What is the *simplest* way when using pylab to turn off=20
exponential notation in the ticks?

Right now I do:
f1ax =3D gca()
f1ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter( P.FormatStrFormatter("%i") )
which works pretty well although I do not get nice commas
(e.g., 10,000 vs 10000).

Is it wrong to think that this might be nicely controlled by=20
a kwarg to xticks?

Thank you,
Alan Isaac

PS ticker.py uses x1e instead of =C3=971e.  Is that effort to=20
stick with ASCII important?
