=============

Unicode minus

=============

You can use the proper typesetting Unicode minus (see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sign#Plus_sign) or the ASCII hyphen

for minus, which some people prefer. The matplotlibrc param

axes.unicode_minus controls the default behavior.

The default is to use the Unicode minus.
