Again I did this padding manually by introducing yet another magic
constant. Thank you to you and Erik for your help. After using a lot
of hacks and magic constants here are the final plots:

Tommy,
It would be helpful if you included a more complete example that
illustrates the problem. If you are setting the text size yourself,
couldn't you adjust the padding as such "pad=20/txt_size". Then the padding
will be inversely proportional to the size of the text.
I suspect this is related
Ryan, do you know, if there is any way I can make the padding
dependent on the tick label sizes?
for label in ax2.yaxis.get_ticklabels():
label.set_horizontalalignment('right')
ax2.tick_params(pad=20)
When the numbers are large, then they are glued to the secondary
y-axis. When they are small,
You're welcome, Tommy. I used gnuplot many years ago, but I've been much
happier now that I know MPL.
A gnuplot->MPL Rosetta Stone might be a useful blog post for someone. I
haven't used gnuplot in so long that I don't think I could do this myself.

Whoa, thanks for a great answer Ryan. I can see, why the level of
control MPL gives you is a great sales pitch. It's one of the reasons,
why I switched from gnuplot after using it for many years and making
many cool plots. The MPL learning curve has just been a bit steep,
when you are used to plot
Tommy,
I'll try to answer your points in order:
1) Oops. That should have been "xticks".
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,3,2])
ticks, labels = plt.xticks()
plt.xticks(ticks, horizontalalignment='left')
plt.show()
2) Sorry for the ambiguity. "OO" is short for object-oriented. There a
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for not replying sooner. I fell asleep
shortly after sending my question.
What is "the OO way"?
Your 1st solution gives:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ticks'
I modified your 2nd solution to accommodate my wishes and needs:
import matplo
How can I set the horizontal alignment of a secondary y-axis to
'right'? Currently the numbers are glued to the axis. I want the axis
values to be right aligned integers. Thanks.
