matplotlib.axes.Axes.ticklabel_format#

Axes.ticklabel_format(*, axis='both', style=None, scilimits=None, useOffset=None, useLocale=None, useMathText=None)[source]#

Configure the ScalarFormatter used by default for linear Axes.

If a parameter is not set, the corresponding property of the formatter is left unchanged.

Parameters:

axis{'x', 'y', 'both'}, default: 'both': The axis to configure. Only major ticks are affected.
style{'sci', 'scientific', 'plain'}: Whether to use scientific notation. The formatter default is to use scientific notation. 'sci' is equivalent to 'scientific'.
scilimitspair of ints (m, n): Scientific notation is used only for numbers outside the range 10^m to 10ⁿ (and only if the formatter is configured to use scientific notation at all). Use (0, 0) to include all numbers. Use (m, m) where m != 0 to fix the order of magnitude to 10^m. The formatter default is rcParams["axes.formatter.limits"] (default: [-5, 6]).
useOffsetbool or float: If True, the offset is calculated as needed. If False, no offset is used. If a numeric value, it sets the offset. The formatter default is rcParams["axes.formatter.useoffset"] (default: True).
useLocalebool: Whether to format the number using the current locale or using the C (English) locale. This affects e.g. the decimal separator. The formatter default is rcParams["axes.formatter.use_locale"] (default: False).
useMathTextbool: Render the offset and scientific notation in mathtext. The formatter default is rcParams["axes.formatter.use_mathtext"] (default: False).
