Re: [Matplotlib-users] Not using exponents on y-axis of log graphs

Thanks again to Mike who explained my problems off list.  For other people
trying to do something similar, 
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-formatting here  is the
page describing python string formats, and the format i was looking for to
show decimals was '%g' (rather than '%d' which was for integers and so
truncated decimals). 

Thanks guys,
Alex
