Many thanks! The 'pad=25' property worked great. I also tried prepending '\n' to the minor labels but it threw an error -- I'll confess that I did not try very hard since 'pad=25' worked. On 08/15/2014 05:28 PM, Thomas Caswell wrote: > Use the `pad` property which sets how far the tick labels ar

Use the `pad` property which sets how far the tick labels are from the axis. ax1.tick_params(axis='x',which='minor',bottom='off',top='off', pad=25) iirc, the units on pad are font-points Tom On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 5:21 PM, Sterling Smith wrote: > How about prepending '\n' to your minor la

Hi, I'm trying to set two lines of xtick_labels But I can't figure out how to get them on separate lines. These are for errorbars where I have two variables for each of four categories. Using the following code, I'm able to create the attached figure. How does one move the "minor" xtick_labels

Howard, Are you trying to plot 4 lines with the same y-axis or with two or more y-axes? I only ask because the values of your 5th column are many orders of magnitude smaller than the values of the other ys. If you want multiple y-axes on the same plot, then you might want to look at Parasite Axe

if you're building an app i would suggest using the OO interface. There are good examples in the examples directory. But basically you get a figure either by constructing it or using pylab.gcf and you can add_axes to the figure and plot on them. It is much more scalable for an app than the pylab
