Not tested on linux yet. After setting the format of an axis to use use scientific notation,\n\n`ticklabel_format(style='sci', axis='y', scilimits=(0,0))`\n\nchanging the limits of the plot using the green checkbox widget in the NavigationToolbar will remove the scientific notation formatting that was just set. This would be a huge convenience for users who use scientific notation and want to work with plots interactively. Example:\n\n```\nimport matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use(\"Qt5Agg\")\nfrom numpy import *\nfrom matplotlib.pyplot import *\nfrom numpy.random import uniform\n\nnpts = 1000\n\nx = uniform(-100, 100, npts)\ny = 1000*sin(x)*cos(x**2)\n\nplot(x, y)\nticklabel_format(style='sci', axis='both', scilimits=(0,0))\n\nshow()\n```\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/peytondmurray","@type":"Person","name":"peytondmurray"},"datePublished":"2016-04-06T22:06:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/6276/matplotlib/issues/6276"}
