Wow. This is really useful and perhaps, should be placed in a wiki somewhere. Is this a common enough task to warrant a method? ax.xaxis.repad_ticks(20) Being unfamiliar with the Tick class, I wouldn't have expected that it would have been necessary to reassign label1 (after setting the pad size). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
