Jouni Wow! A guru at work... this solves all my current problems; your insights and comments are most appreciated! To return to my first post - matplotlib aims to make simple things simple - I would argue that the way tickmarks are currently dealt with is NOT simple & it would be great to see

Jouni I have now loaded and tried to use iPython. In some cases the xyz? command gives useful output - in others, not. So, if I have ax = subplot(111) Then ax? returns a number of get_ & set_ functions that are available. So far, so good. But, if I try something like : In [9]: ax.set_x
