Hi, I have a very crowded plot with lots of subplots, and tick labels tend to overlap. I wanted to drop e.g. the 1st and last x-tick labels for each subplot, doing something like:
ax = P.subplot(1,1,1) ax.plot([1,2,3,2,1,2,3]) ax.set_xticklabels(['']+ [ lbl.get_text() for lbl in ax.get_xticklabels()[1:-1] ]+ ['']) This works in interactive 'ipython -pylab', but this does not work anymore in a script: in my script, the tick label returned by ax.get_xticklabels() are all empty strings: print [ lbl.get_text() for lbl in ax.get_xticklabels() ] returns ['', '', '', '', '', '', ''] It seems the tick text strings are filled in only at the very last moment (at show() time?). Any help out there? Cheers, -- .~.
