Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks the response. Sorry about the term "global axis". That was clearly
not the best way to say it. What I meant to say is global x axis LABEL and
y-axis LABEL. This can be seen in this example (
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Multiple_Subplots_with_One_Axis_Label?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Same_ylabel_subplots.png
)
although when I tried to do something similar with a 2x2 grid of plots it
didn't seem to be working for me. Their example works due to these lines
here
import pylab
> 2
> 3 figprops = dict(figsize=(8., 8. / 1.618), dpi=128)
> # Figure properties
> 4 adjustprops = dict(left=0.1, bottom=0.1, right=0.97, top=0.93,
> wspace=0.2 hspace=0.2) # Subplot properties
> 5
> 6 fig = pylab.figure(**figprops)
> # New figure
> 7 fig.subplots_adjust(**adjustprops)
> # Tunes the subplot layout
> 8
> 9 ax = fig.add_subplot(3, 1, 1)
> 10 bx = fig.add_subplot(3, 1, 2, sharex=ax, sharey=ax)
> 11 cx = fig.add_subplot(3, 1, 3, sharex=ax, sharey=ax)
> 12
> 13 ax.plot([0,1,2], [2,3,4], 'k-')
> 14 bx.plot([0,1,2], [2,3,4], 'k-')
> 15 cx.plot([0,1,2], [2,3,4], 'k-')
> 16
> 17 pylab.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), visible=False)
> 18 pylab.setp(bx.get_xticklabels(), visible=False)
> 19
> 20 bx.set_ylabel('This is a long label shared among more axes',
> fontsize=14)
> 21 cx.set_xlabel('And a shared x label', fontsize=14)
specifically probably the bx/cx_set label commands coupled with the sharex
commands in the subplot label. But when I tried to add these things for my
2x2 plot it always looked like the label was attached to one of the plots or
another instead of spanning the whole range.
Thanks,
Brad

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
