To obtain what you want you have to set the tick labels invisible is the axes where you don't want them to show up. >From http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/shared_axis_demo.html: setp( ax.get_xticklabels(), visible=False) As the axis are shared, the ticklabels are also shared, so setting them to "", erase them from all the axes. I hope that this helps.
