You can suppress the tick marks on the top and right axis as Mathieu suggested. Setting frame_on as False will suppresse both the bounding lines and the white background patch of the axes. You can suppress only the bounding lines by
ax = gca() ax.frame.set_visble(False) Note that this will delete not only the top and the right axis lines but also the bottom and the left ones. Therefore, you need to manually draw the axis lines (bottom and left). p, = ax.plot([0,0],[0,1], "k-", transform=ax.transAxes) p.set_clip_on(False) p, = ax.plot([0,1],[0,0], "k-", transform=ax.transAxes) p.set_clip_on(False) You may consider to use a custom axes class by Tony. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/13619 Regards, -JJ On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 10:35 PM, Uri Laserson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Is it possible to create plots that only have a single x-axis on the bottom > and a single y-axis on the left, while suppressing an upper or right axis > (i.e., have the graph be "open")? > > Thanks! > Uri > > > -- > Uri Laserson > PhD Candidate, Biomedical Engineering > Harvard Medical School (Genetics) > Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Mathematics) > phone +1 917 742 8019 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge > Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great > prizes > Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world > http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ > _______________________________________________ > Matplotlib-users mailing list > Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
