thanks for the suggestion, though this does not work for me in the
following example:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('PDF')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rc
rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
plt.rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True
rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
plt.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42
plt.rcParams['font.size'] = 10
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines import SubplotZero
def setup_axes(fig, labelpad=1, invisible=["bottom", "top", "right"]):
plt.rcParams['ytick.major.pad'] = 2
plt.rcParams['ytick.minor.pad'] = 2
# Y ticks work, but X tick do not...
plt.rcParams['xtick.major.pad'] = 0.01
plt.rcParams['xtick.minor.pad'] = 0.01
ax = SubplotZero(fig, 1, 1, 1)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
# make xzero axis (horizontal axis line through y=0) visible.
ax.axis["xzero"].set_visible(True)
# make other axis (bottom, top, right) invisible.
for n in invisible:
ax.axis[n].set_visible(False)
return ax
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5), dpi=300)
setup_axes(fig, labelpad=2)
x = range(1, 11)
y = [5000, 900, 600, 500, 200, 110, 50, 20, 10, 5]
plt.plot(x, y, linewidth=1.5, c='k')
plt.ylabel('hello', labelpad=10)
xlab = plt.xlabel('hello x axis')
xlab.set_position((0.2, 0.1))
plt.savefig('test_logscale.pdf')
the xaxis doesn't seem to be moved. any idea what might be wrong here? thanks.
