How to control scientific notation in matplotlib?

Question

This is my data frame I\'m trying to plot:

my_dic = {\'stats\': {\'apr\': 23083904,
                       \'may\': 16786816,
                       \'june\'         


        

Answer 1

Adding this line helps to get numbers in a plain format but with ',' which looks much nicer:

ax.get_yaxis().set_major_formatter(
    matplotlib.ticker.FuncFormatter(lambda x, p: format(int(x), ',')))

And then I can use int(x)/ to convert to million or thousand as I wish:

Answer 2

Since you already using pandas

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
my_df.plot(kind='bar')
plt.ticklabel_format(style='plain', axis='y')
