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,
