 The default tick formatter
 ==========================
 
-The example shows use of the default `.ScalarFormatter` with different
-settings.
-
-Example 1 : Default
-
-Example 2 : With no Numerical Offset
-
-Example 3 : With Mathtext
+By default, tick labels are formatted using a `.ScalarFormatter`, which can be
+configured via `~.axes.Axes.ticklabel_format`.  This example illustrates some
+possible configurations:
+
+- Default.
+- ``useMathText=True``: Fancy formatting of mathematical expressions.
+- ``useOffset=False``: Do not use offset notation; see
+  `.ScalarFormatter.set_useOffset`.
