title: matplotlib axis label format
body: <p>I am having an issue with the format of the tick labels of an axis. I disabled the offset from the y_axis:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ax1.ticklabel_format(style = 'sci', useOffset=False)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and tried to put it a scientific format but all I get is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>0.00355872
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I expected something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>3.55872...E-2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or similar.</p>
  
  <p>what I really want is something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>3.55872... (on the tick label)
  x 10^2  (or something similar - on the axis label)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could try to set the labels as static,, but in the end I will have a few tens or hundreds of plots with different values, so it needs to be set dynamically.</p>
  
  <p>An alternative would be to place the y_axis offset as the label, but I also have no clue on how to do this.</p>
