I believe that "set" function in matplotlib has been deprecated (because "set" is now python builtin). Instead, you have to use "setp".
Setting "xticks" (or "yticks") changes the tick locations. If you're trying to turn off only the labels, you may use use setp(gca().get_yticklabels(), visible=False) IHTH, -JJ 2008/9/17 Nicholas Stephens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > Actually this is more like two problems :-) > > I am trying to turn off the yaxis labels on the right hand side figure > generated via subplot.
