[Matplotlib-users] Strange default choice of ylabel ticks

[Per N. <ev...@gm...>]

Hi all

I get a rather strange scaling / choice of y-axis ticks for the following
script:

import pylab as pl

some_points = [0.94589396231920286, 0.94593953605915637,
0.94601787712257401, 0.94597530431819743, 0.9459922123931529,
0.94622433138703055]
pl.plot(some_points, '.-')
pl.savefig('some_point2.pdf')

output here:

This is a rather simple plot, but matplotlib choses a strange scaling of
the y-axis by default. How do I get a more standard scaling without
specifying the yticks manually?

Best
