Inconsistent font size for scientific notation in axis
font-size, fonts, matplotlib, python
Solution
According to `ticklabel_format` documentation, the function does not accept `labelsize` parameter.
You can change the font size using `matplotlib.rc`:
plt.rc('font', size=7)
Problem
I'm trying to make a plot for which the x axis will show in scientific notation. The way I found how to do so is to use the `ticklabel_format` function. Unfortunately this does not respect the font size I assign to the numbers shown in the axis, see image below: The `1e-12` and `1e4` are displayed in a different font size even though I set equal label sizes. How could I fix this? (A `MWE` is below) ``` import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np t = np.arange(0.0, 10000.0, 10.) s = np.sin(np.pi*t)*np.exp(-t*0.0001) fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.tick_params(axis='both', which='major', labelsize=7) plt.ticklabel_format(style='sci', axis='x', scilimits=(0,0), labelsize=7) plt.plot(t,s) plt.show() ```
