Thank you. sharex was just what I was looking for.
I was pleasantly surprised I could hide the x axis labels on the upper
subplots using the following code:
for subplot in self.subplotArr[0:-1]:
# can't find API equivalent of pylab.setp so...
for ticklabel in subplot.get_xticklabels():
ticklabel.set_visible(False)
since it's a strip chart and new X ticks are constantly being
created as
time advances. Thank heavens it doesn't show labels on the new ones.
Don't know if it is useful for you or not, but there is also
the .label_outer() function that will set the visibility of the axes
tick labels based on which subplot they are in the figure.
Very nice! Much easier to read than setting each tick invisible.
