Hello, I am creating a plot with multiple y-axis (up to 6) and twinx works pretty well. The problem is that there are too much wasted spaces used up by the axes. Since I have multiple axes, it cuts into the amount of space available for the plot area. I need to know how I can squeeze some spaces out of the standard axes. First thing I discovered was that I can rotate the tick labels to vertical by:
plt.setp(ax.major_ticklabels, rotation="vertical") where ax is my y-axis. But then: (1) How to reduce the space between the tick and the axes label? First I tried to place the label on top but couldn't get that to work. Then I tried to change the position property of the axis label object and that have no effect. So, can somebody please tell me how I can do these 2 things? (2) How to avoid overlapping tick labels? With the way the standard x and y axis are drawn, after I do a vertical rotate of the y tick labels, the first y tick label overlaps with the last x tick label since they are both center aligned. Is there any way to change the alignment of only the first and last tick labels of an axes (while keeping the rest center aligned)?
