[Matplotlib-users] Centering Tick Labels BETWEEN Tick Marks

[Alexander Michael]

I would like to create a plot axis with major tick labels centered *between* major tick markers instead below tick markers. If you are viewing this email with a fixed-width font, it might look something like:

|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|
     LABEL01         LABEL02         LABEL03    

Ideally and ambitiously I would like both minor and major labels to be displayed stacked and boxed like:

|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|___.___.___.___|
|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|_1_|_2_|_3_|_4_|
|____LABEL01____|____LABEL02____|____LABEL03____|

I've been poking around a bit through the examples, the mailing list and the source code, but haven't quite figured out how to carry out this customization. So far, I have created my own Locator and Formatter, but I have yet to figure out where I can calculate the label locations or put boxes around them.

Your thoughts appreciated,
Alex
