Hi Jack,
In \matplotlib\axes.py, Axes.format_xdata()
func = self.xaxis.get_major_formatter().format_data_short
->func = self.xaxis.get_major_formatter().format_data
same for Axes.format_ydata()

Hello,
When you make a figure and move the mouse around inside the axes, the
x- and y-values appear in the status bar. Is there a way to change the
precision of this data? It's only tracking 3 significant figures and I
need more (say you're zoomed in on some data with a large offset).
Is there a way to change this in matplotlibrc or some global
preference? If not, is it a figure property?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Beautiful!
Many thanks John.
