  <p>I'm plotting numbers with five digits (210.10, 210.25, 211.35, etc) against dates and I'd like to have the y-axis ticks show all digits ('214.20' rather than '0.20 + 2.14e2') and have not been able to figure this out.  I've attempted to set the ticklabel format to plain, but it appears to have no effect.</p>
  <pre><code>plt.ticklabel_format(style='plain', axis='y')
  </code></pre>
  <p>Any hints on the obvious I'm missing?</p>
