[Matplotlib-users] Too long tick labels

[Dmitry V. <df...@gm...>]

Hello,

When I plot graph with values 10^5 and more at y axis, the labels are 
too long and run out of the picture borders. So I get "600000" instead 
of "1600000" at y axis or something like this. Tried to use
====
majorFormatter = ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%e')
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(majorFormatter)
====
but it became even worse -- "00e+00", "00e+05", "00e+06", i.e. first 
digits run out of picture border or I see only part of digit.

Is it possible to make matplotlib automatically change picture size due 
to it's content? Or maybe there is some other way to solve my problem?

Thanks.
