axes_grid uses a custome axes class. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#axisline
For more details, see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axislines.html To make ticklabel visible, you may do grid.axes_all[1].axis["bottom"].major_ticklabels.set_visible(True) However, AxesGrid takes an *ngrids* parameter which controls the number of grids. So, in your example, f = plt.figure() grid = axes_grid.AxesGrid(f, 111, nrows_ncols=(2,2), ngrids=3) (no manual adding of grids. also top-right axes will have x-ticklabels by default).
