matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

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

I should have posted this question on the numpy list of course, even though
floor is imported with pylab.
Off-list, Felix pointed me to the following discussion where some of the
reasons are explained why a float is returned rather than an integer:

Hi Michka,
I haven't practiced PyQt for some time, but I think I remember there is
a common practice of using a "0 ms" timer to launch a function after the
Gui setup.
I've modified your gist here :
https://gist.github.com/pierre-haessig/9909708
(for some reason the Github fork button printed "The change you wanted
was rejected.")
I don't know if it does what you want, but at least it doesn't move anymore.
best,
Pierre
