SimpleFormatter

class SimpleFormatter(precision=None, zerotrim=None, tickrange=None, wraprange=None, prefix=None, suffix=None, negpos=None)[source]

Bases: matplotlib.ticker.Formatter

Replicate various features from AutoFormatter. This is more suitable for arbitrary number formatting not necessarily associated with any Axis instance, e.g. labeling contours.

Parameters
  • precision (int, optional) – The maximum number of digits after the decimal point. Default is 6 when zerotrim is True and 2 otherwise.

  • zerotrim (bool, optional) – Whether to trim trailing zeros. Default is rc[‘formatter.zerotrim’] = True.

  • tickrange ((float, float), optional) – Range within which major tick marks are labelled. Default is (-np.inf, np.inf).

  • wraprange ((float, float), optional) – Range outside of which tick values are wrapped. For example, (0, 2) will format a value of 2.5 as 0.5, and (-180, 180) will format a value of 200 as -180 + 20 == -160.

  • prefix, suffix (str, optional) – Prefix and suffix for all tick strings.

  • negpos (str, optional) – Length-2 string indicating the suffix for “negative” and “positive” numbers, meant to replace the minus sign.
