set_position does not work with axes_grid toolkits. Try something like ax.LABELPAD = 0 However, note that this (and set_rotation) may not work with mpl_toolkits in future release of matplotlib as there has been some significant changes. Regards, -JJ ps. please use "reply to all", so that mess

Hi all, One of the most persistent problems I have with matplotlib is finding out which kwargs and args are available for some commands. For instance, I am looking at manipulating axis ticks and labels in mplot3d, so I went to the mplot3d api page, and looked for useful commands and found: set_

Here is a slightly revised version of your script. It has a separate axes for labeling whose width is determined by the maximum width of the labels (using MaxExtent from axes_grid toolkit). Give it a try and see if it fits your needs. Regards, -JJ import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as

Are you using the axes_grid toolkit? Standard matplotlib axis instance does not have "major_ticklabels" attribute, while axes_grid axis does. Please post a simple, but complete example that can be run and tested. Regards, -JJ On Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 11:06 AM, wrote: > BTW: I tried to use set_

Current "pick" implementation explicitly checks if the event is inside the axes. So, you cannot pick artists outside the axes area. This seems more like an intended "feature" than a bug, but I may be wrong. And my guess is that this is to prevent picking invisible artists (as they are clipped). Wh
