.. |PercentFormatter| replace:: ``PercentFormatter``
.. _PercentFormatter: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.PercentFormatter

`Tick formatters can be given in the same way as Matplotlib
<https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/ticks/tick-formatters.html>`__.
Among available formatters, |PercentFormatter|_ may be particularly useful for
ternary plots.
