Does this get you close? It seems what your trying to do might be a bit ambiguous, but I understand the problem with the y-axis when there are lots of subplots.
Maybe it would be better to change the y-ticker to make fewer ticks or the labels to be smaller. -Chip from matplotlib import pyplot as plt t = [0,1] y=[0,1] fig = plt.figure() plt.axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8], frameon=True, axisbg='w') ax = fig.add_subplot(211) plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False) plt.plot(t,y) ax = fig.add_subplot(212) plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False) plt.plot(t,y) plt.show() Gökhan SEVER wrote: > Hello, > > I have six subplots in my canvas, and wondering how to place a common > ylabel into the canvas in matplotlib?
