cmstext not working with scientific notation about mplhep HOT 10 CLOSED

next to the tick scale (outside the plot). Could you add an example, I'm not 100% sure I get what oyu mean

from mplhep.

Right now it looks like this

and what I have in mind is something like this

Source

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import mplhep as hep
import numpy as np

data = np.random.rand(1000000)
ax = plt.gca()
hep.cms.cmslabel(ax)
plt.hist(data)
ax.ticklabel_format(axis="y", style="sci", scilimits=(0, 0))
plt.show()

from mplhep.

I can take a look, It would be useful if we could get this behaviour automatically, but I am not sure how to fetch the Text object with the sci label

from mplhep.

@jrueb It might take me some time to get to it, but if you feel like fixing it, this get's you the offset of the exponent text ax.get_yaxis().offsetText.get_tightbbox(ax.figure.canvas.renderer).width

from mplhep.

@jrueb 0.0.24 should fix it, let me know

from mplhep.

Thanks for the fix. Unfortunately it does not seem to work at all anymore if the y axis is set to logarithmic ax.set_yscale("log").

I get AttributeError: 'LogFormatterSciNotation' object has no attribute '_scientific'. This is independent from the presence of a ax.ticklabel_format call.

from mplhep.

Ugh, ok, that was unfortunate. Next version should properly check the formatter type first.

from mplhep.

@jrueb did 0.0.25 fix this?

from mplhep.

Yes, it seems to work fine.
However, while I personally don't use it and did not consider before, there is the possibility of ax.yaxis.tick_right() which moves the entire issue to the right side. mplhep does not check for this yet.

from mplhep.

Ok, thanks for the heads up, but unless it comes up that's a #wontfix for me. If anyone does that much surgery to their plots they might as well place the axis themselves.
