I think this is a terminology issue: the axis objects returned by gca() or
in the list returned by get_axes() incorporate both the 'axes' in the sense
of x and y axes. With the single result of gca() you can get at both the x
and y axes. For example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ax = plt.gca()
ax.set_xlims(xmin=-1)
ax.set_ylims(ymax=0)
ax.format_xdata = ... # if this is how you use this bit - haven't needed to
change these myself
ax.format_ydata = ...
I hope that helps,
Angus.
