I noticed that when you offset the spines of an Axes object, the labels,
ticks, and ticklabels/formatting get mostly cleared. Is this intentional
and is there a way to prevent (or undo) it?
It's probably easiest to just look at a notebook:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/phobson/8818648
That notebook contains a proposed solution from Stack Overflow.
Unfortunately, minor ticks and labels are missed (and I can't understand
why as the values are contained in the properties dictionary of the spines).
Background: I'm trying to add an offset kwarg to the despine function in
seaborn (https://github.com/mwaskom/seaborn/pull/92). Point of mentioning
that is that to make this work, we need to be able to offset the spines
*after* plotting and formatting ticks.
Alternatively, if there was a way to specify a default offset in rcParams
before a figure and axes were even created, that might work too.
------
Related to that, when I use the SO solution, about 50% of the time the axes
labels are rendered as the label objects, not text. Whatever triggers that
doesn't seem to be deterministic. Resetting the notebook will fix it or
break it -- there's no telling how it's going to go. Here's the exact same
notebook as above, with the mangled figure at the bottom.
