Update Matplotlib formatters/tickers

Open stsievert opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

I find myself referring to https://jakevdp.github.io/PythonDataScienceHandbook/04.10-customizing-ticks.html#Summary-of-Formatters-and-Locators all the time to find the correct matplotlib locators/formatter.

I only recently realized that there are more maplotlib locators and formatters, including StrMethodFormatter and EngFormatter. It'd be nice if these could be included.

It'd also be nice if the new matplotlib 3.3.0 str/function inputs could be documented too: https://matplotlib.org/users/whats_new.html#allow-tick-formatters-to-be-set-with-str-or-function-inputs

Thanks for the notes. I don't have any available cycles to update the data science handbook at the moment.

Hi, Use Tableau Public to create awesome visualizations. There are lots of open data on the Internet for just about any subject, so look for data on a subject that interests you. But you should learn it properly. I was doing it through https://www.artofvisualization.com company. They help grow my skill and give more advance on my career!

@jakevdp Would this help with the spamming?
