How can I force matplotlib to not "merge" y-axis labels? For example, if I've got y-axis ticks at 1, 1.01, 1.02, etc., matplotlib likes to show 0, 0.01, 0.02 with a +1 in the upper left corner. An example showing this behavior underlined in red is below:

This is some example behavior I don't want

How can I disable this behavior? I don't know what it's called, so I don't know what to Google to shut it off.

    I believe this is what you're looking for: [axis offsest values](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3677368/matplotlib-format-axis-offset-values-to-whole-numbers-or-specific-number). – cosmosis Jun 17 '14 at 22:18
  • Thank you. I would be happy to accept that if you'll submit it as an answer. – Rhys Ulerich Jun 18 '14 at 03:10
  • I appreciate the offer, but it's not like I did anything new/clever to deserve the points. Plus, sometimes it takes a bit before you find the "actual" name of behavior. Cheers! – cosmosis Jun 18 '14 at 03:53
  • As you like, but I'm not of the opinion that one needs to provide clever answers-- only answers. Thank you again. – Rhys Ulerich Jun 18 '14 at 16:24
  • Consider answering your own question and accepting that answer in due time. That'll make it more useful for future visitors - especially should the comments get purged – Schorsch Jun 20 '14 at 00:08
