Hi, I have a very vexing problem. I am using MPL (both 0.98.1 and 0.91.2) to create a vertical stack of three plots with no space in between. In order to do so, I need to eliminate either the top or bottom tick of each plot. I have chosen to eliminate the top tick, and I am doing something like the following:
ticks = a.yaxis.get_major_ticks() ticks[-2].set_visible(False) where a is the axis object in question. Most of the time, that works, though I don't know why there is an additional "blank" tick inserted at the top, making the top most visible tick the second to last element in the ticks array.. However, sometimes, that deletes the second tick from the top, leaving the top tick! An example of what I am talking about can be found at http://research.jsoishi.org/images/yavg_t_spectra.png. Note that all of the plots are fine except for the bottom most subpanel of the upper left plot. All subplots in that figure include exactly the two lines above. A simpler test case is the following: --- #!/usr/bin/env python import pylab as P import numpy as N x = N.linspace(0,2*N.pi,1000) y1 = N.sin(x) y2 = N.sinc(x) y3 = N.cos(x) fig = P.figure() for i,y in enumerate([y1,y2,y3]): bot = 0.05+i*0.3 ax = fig.add_axes([0.1,bot,0.8,0.3]) ax.plot(x,y) ticks = ax.yaxis.get_major_ticks() ticks[-1].set_visible(False) # works on the top & bottom plot # ticks[-2].set_visible(False) # works on the middle one if i != 0: ax.set_xticklabels('') fig.savefig('tick_test.png') ---- For me, the ticks[-1] line gives the image at http://research.jsoishi.org/images/tick_test.png, while the commented out ticks[-2] line gives the inverse (the middle plot deletes the top most tick, and the others delete the second from the last). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
