==========================
The default tick formatter
==========================

The example shows use of the default `.ScalarFormatter` with different
settings.

Example 1 : Default

Example 2 : With no Numerical Offset

Example 3 : With Mathtext


.. code-block:: default


    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np








Example 1


.. code-block:: default


    x = np.arange(0, 1, .01)
    fig, [[ax1, ax2], [ax3, ax4]] = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(6, 6))
    fig.text(0.5, 0.975, 'Default settings',
             horizontalalignment='center',
             verticalalignment='top')

    ax1.plot(x * 1e5 + 1e10, x * 1e-10 + 1e-5)

    ax2.plot(x * 1e5, x * 1e-4)

    ax3.plot(-x * 1e5 - 1e10, -x * 1e-5 - 1e-10)

    ax4.plot(-x * 1e5, -x * 1e-4)

    fig.subplots_adjust(wspace=0.7, hspace=0.6)
