xticks scaling factor partially obscured with qtconsole and inline plotting

[joemilbourn]

See screenshot:
To reproduce: in a qtconsole after %pylab inline say plot(1e10*frange(10), 1e10*frange(10)) - the 1e11 scale is shown correctly on the y-axis but obscured on the x.

Only tested with Ipython 0.12 and python 2.7.1 on windows (Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]), can't reproduce with ipython 0.12 and python 2.7.2+ on linux (Python 2.7.2+ (default, Feb 16 2012, 18:29:42))

Hm, this plot actually fits fine on my (OSX) machine. You can tweak the default rcParams used for the inline backend with the InlineBackend.rc dict, which sets some custom defaults for rcParams when you use the inline backend.

Do you have any custom matplotlib rc yourself?

[joemilbourn]

No custom matplotlibrc, no custom anything! It's clean install of ipython and python2.7.

It plots properly for me on a linux box; I've not had a chance to try it on another windows system yet.

I believe this is fixed by the bbox_inches=tight improvements in matplotlib 1.2
