python - matplotlib remove axis label offset by default

Question

I've read other questions here offering

plt.gca().get_xaxis().get_major_formatter().set_useOffset(False)

as a way to remove axis offsets on the current plot, but is there any way to do this by default? I don't see anything in the matplotlibrc file that seems helpful.

Answer 1

In 2013 a boolean matplotlibrc parameter called axes.formatter.useoffset was added, which can switch off the offset.

For example like this:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['axes.formatter.useoffset'] = False
