#18970 — scientific notation in legend (pylab)

Hi,

I I would like to have numbers expressed in scientific notation in
legend annotations. Does anybody know how to do that?

Cheers,

S.

Not sure why legend annotations makes the problem different, but
perhaps this is a start:

$ python3
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Jun 11 2011, 10:38:04)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> print("{:e}".format(1000))
1.000000e+03
