Daniele,
I agree this is perhaps a little overly complicated. (However, once you
figure it out, it does give you a ton of flexibility.) I played around
with this a bit (thanks IPython!), and I may have figured out what you
wanted to do. I rewrote the example you linked from the MPL website. I
couldn't simplify it much, but it does change the size, location and labels
of the floating y axis.

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
host = host_subplot(111, axes_class=AA.Axes)
plt.subplots_adjust(right=0.75)
par1 = host.twinx()
par2 = host.twinx()
offset = 60
new_fixed_axis = par2.get_grid_helper().new_fixed_axis
par2.axis[right] = new_fixed_axis(loc=right,
axes=par2,
offset=(offset, 0))
par2.axis[right].toggle(all=True)
p1, = host.plot([0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 2], label=Density)

Hope that helps.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Setting the tick label font size
Hi Daniele, not sure, but it seems to work for me. Did you do a plt.draw() or plt.show() to reflect the changes? Kind regards, Oliver 2013/10/28 Daniele Nicolodi dani...@grinta.net Hello, I'm trying to change the font size for the tick labels. I've tried both setting it explicitly when creating the labels: ax2.set_xticklabel(['%d' % x for x in arange(10)], fontsize=10) or after: for label in ax2.get_xticklabels(): label.set_fontsize(8) but the rendering is unaffected by the setting. This is with the MacOSX backend and with the PDF backend. Is it a bug or am I missing something? Thanks.

Hello, it investigated this a bit further and the problem presents itself only when I use `mpl_toolkits.axisartist.Axes`. Here is a minimum example that demonstrates the problem: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot from mpl_toolkits.axisartist import Axes x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi) y = np.sin(x) f = plt.figure() BUG = True if BUG: ax1 = host_subplot(111, axes_class=Axes) else: ax1 = host_subplot(111, axes_class=Axes) ax1.plot(x, y) ax1.set_xlim(0, 2*np.pi) ax1.set_xticks(np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 5)) ax1.set_xticklabels(['%.2f' % x for x in np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 5)], fontsize=8) plt.draw() plt.show() Cheers, Daniele -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.

Daniele, I noticed the same problem with the Qt backend. However, I was looking at the documentation on the AxesGrid webpage here: http://matplotlib.org/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html And I see the following warning: axes_grid and axisartist (but not axes_grid1) uses a custom Axes class (derived from the mpl’s original Axes class).
