yes it is. > import pylab as mpl > > mpl.plot([1,3,2]) > mpl.twinx() > mpl.plot([400,50,100]) > mpl.show() # get the current figure f = mpl.gcf() # Hide the "background" for the first axes, otherwise it will block the second one when we swap f.axes[0].set_frame_on(False) # Swap the axes f.axes.reverse() # Turn on the "background" for the *new* first axes (the one that was created second) f.axes[0].set_frame_on(False) you can also achieve the same effect by changing the zorder of axes - provided that you remember to have turn the frame on for the one that is the furthest back, and turn it off for all others lying on top of it. You can see what happens if you don't do this by omitting the calls to set_frame_on, and then verifying that the second line does not show up (because the original axes' frame patch is blocking it. best, -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
