[Matplotlib-users] turn off tick reflection
Dear matplotlib users, I'm trying to make a plot that shares the x axis, but that have two different y scales. I can do this, almost, I say almost because I don't know how to turn off the reflection of my y ticks, so they are reflected and obscure the scale on the other side, if the scales aren't similar. I looked at the example http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/plot_directive/mpl_examples/api/two_scales.py and it hints at a solution (Hint: use the xaxis instance and call tick_bottom and tick_top in place of tick_left and tick_right.), but this doesn't make any sense to me. I think I need to Turn the axes rectangular frame off on the 2nd axes to keep it from obscuring the first. but I'm not sure if this is what I need to do, if it is, I'm also not sure how to do this.

[Matplotlib-users] how to increase tick thickness
Dear matplolib users, I am wondering if anyone knows how to increase the tick thickness, that is the tick linewidth? Mine are too thin. Thanks Goekhan and JJ for the help previously on how to increase the tick size, to fix the xtick.major.size in the matplotlib rc. That did make my ticks longer, but I still don't know how to make them 'fatter'. Thanks, Matthew -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[Matplotlib-users] How to increase axis and tick linesize?
Dear matplotlib users, I have a problem with my plots, it is that the plot axes and the tick marks are too small, is there a way to increase the 'lineweight' and size of these basic features? I am not asking about axis label text size and that of the information inside the plot, but rather the basic skeleton of the plot. I suppose I can make thicker ticks by hand w/ the xvline and xhline modules, but I'd rather not do it this way. Also I often find that the xlabel is too close to the plot box (xaxis) is there a way to increase this distance besides making my own labels via text.
