im trying to plot the column0 in x axis and column1 in y axis i get a plot with xaxis values 1000000,2000000,3000000,400000 etc. andthe codes i used are attached below.

i need to adjust the values in x axis so that the x axis should have values such as 1e+06,2e+06,3e+06 ... etc instead of 1000000,2000000,3000000,400000 etc .

# load the dataset 
Psmc_dolphin = pd.read_csv('Beluga_mapped_to_dolphin.0.txt', sep="\t",header=None)
plt.plot(Psmc_dolphin[0],Psmc_dolphin[1],color='green')

Any help or suggstion will be appreciated

Scaling the values might help you. Convert 1000000 to 1,2000000 to 2 and so on . Divide the values by 1000000. Or use some different scale like logarithmic scale. I am no expert just a newbie but i think this might help
