[Matplotlib-users] matplotlibrc axes.formatter.useoffset parameter

[Julian I. <jul...@gm...>]

Hello,

I noticed that in the matplotlib source code in lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py
there is a parameter called axes.formatter.useoffset that defaults to True.
However, in the documentation the example rc file doesn't include this
parameter, and if I try to use it I get the exception "Bad key
axes.formatter.useoffset".

I am constantly using ax.ticklabel_format(useoffset=False) to get at this
parameter and I would love to just have my rc file take care of it instead.
How can I do this? If I can't, then can this be added? Why is the parameter
listed in rcsetup.py but not in the example matplotlibrc?

Thanks,
Julian
