title: prevent scientific notation in matplotlib.pyplot
body: <p>I've been trying to suppress scientific notation in pyplot for a few hours now.  After trying multiple solutions without success, I would like some help.</p>
  <pre><code>plt.plot(range(2003,2012,1),range(200300,201200,100))
  # several solutions from other questions have not worked, including
  # plt.ticklabel_format(style='sci', axis='x', scilimits=(-1000000,1000000))
  # ax.get_xaxis().get_major_formatter().set_useOffset(False)
  plt.show()
  </code></pre>
