Thanks Ben. Your solution for setting different fontsizes worked like a
charm!
For the other question, what I meant by padding was the distance of the
tick label from the axis. This is what I set with the following command:
matplotplib.pyplot.rc(('xtick.major','ytick.major'), pad=10)
so that the pad of the label from the axis is set to 10. Now what if I
want to set the pad of just one of the xtick lables to a different value?
Thanks,
Pawel

Hi all,
Is it possible to set the size of only some tick labels? I have text
tick labels (residue names). I'd like to reduce the font size of just
two of the labels to make them fit better, but keep the size of the
remaining labels the same.
It isn't _impossible_, but mpl certainly won't make it easy for you.
After creating your graph and tick labels, you would have to get back
the tick labels as a list of Text objects using "get_xticklabels()".
Then, you modify the font size of the appropriate element in that
list. Perhaps something like this:
xticks = ax.get_xticklabels()
xticks[3].set_fontsize(xticks[3].get_fontsize() * 0.9)
Note: Completely untested.
And in a similar vein, is it possible to change the padding of
just some
tick labels? Again, I'd like to increase the padding of just two
of the
labels but keep the remaining the same.
By "padding" are you referring to the spacing between the tick
labels? That would have to be done by changing the tick locations
themselves. By default, the ticks are equally spaced over the
specified domain, and the labels for those ticks are placed so that
the center lines up with the tick mark. Try using "get_xticks()" and
"set_yticks()" and see what happens.
I hope that helps!
