I'm trying to plot data, and I'm seeing the following (highlighted in yellow):

enter image description here

The y-axis is, presumably, being multiplied by 1e-10 - 6.767403e-3. I've seen the y axis get multiplied by a factor before, which makes sense, but I'm not sure why there's a difference now. What does that mean, and why does it happen?

  • The data is multiplied by 10^(-10) and offset by 6.7*10^(-3). This happens because your data is squeezed in a relatively small range, far away from 0. The multiplication and offset allow to still put nice numbers on the axes in such case. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Mar 04 '20 at 00:49
  • @ImportanceOfBeingErnest Is it possible for me to remove this offset in order to be able to accurately tell what my data is showing? – Petra Mar 04 '20 at 14:01

    Yes, as seen in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28371674/prevent-scientific-notation-in-matplotlib-pyplot – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Mar 04 '20 at 14:43
