I'd suggest changing this to 1..10 + 1.0000e4, which is IMO much more legible.\n\nThe `y` axis doesn't show the tick labels, as expected, but the offset indicator (\"+1.0001e4\") is still there.  `setp(get_{x,y}ticklabels(), visible=False)` is certainly a commonly used approach (e.g. by `SubplotBase.label_outer()`).\nWhat I believe the correct solution, which is also set `offsetText` (which can be obtained by `get_offset_text()`) to invisible, is a bit obscure (and not mentioned in the docs).\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2015-05-19T20:25:26.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/4445/matplotlib/issues/4445"}
