Forcing matplotlib to NOT use scientific notation when graphing
#5
Well, you are completely correct, all you see is a fizzy line.

What I was hoping though was to use the python image viewer to zoom in at will to see the microstructure wherever I wanted to.

Ultimately, on my X axis, since I want it to be linear scale, I figured having nanosecond time such as 35163106216951 would be the easiest. Then, ultimately I was hoping to be able to label each nanosecond time on the graph with a human readable equivalent, for example for the above time it is 09:46:03.106216960. When I zoom in now, no matter how close I zoom I keep getting these rounded 1e6 values, so when I zoom in on the microscale it's next to impossible to correlate where it is relative to the timeframe. That's why I was just hoping to be able to get the full nanosecond values on zoom in, along with a corresponding human time label for each nanosecond value.
