Hello,
I have a question concerning the label positions of x- or y-ticks. My
problem is that I want to make a polar plot with ticklabels. To
generate such a plot you can use the following simple example script.
# #################################################
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
r = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
t = np.linspace(0, 4*np.pi, 100)
fig = plt.figure(1)
fig.clf()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1, polar=True)
ax.plot(t, r, lw=2)
plt.draw()
plt.show()
# ##################################################
When generating a polarplot with this script one realizes that the
r-ticklabels (y-ticklabels) end up on the gridlines. This looks looks
kind of ugly especially for the last ticklabel ("10") which breaks the
solid line at the outer plot boundary. So I would like to move the
ticklabels a little bit to the right.
My question is: Is there a simple trick to change the default
ticklabelpad between the axis and the ticklabels or do I have to do
this manually by changing the position of every single ticklabel?
About a short answer I would be very glad.
With kind regards,
Daniel
There seems no obvious way to change the padding.
You may use *set_rgrids* method which takes rpad parameter but you
need to specify the tick locations also.
Here is a simple function taken from set_rgrids method, that only
change the padding.
def update_rpads(ax, rpad):
angle = ax._r_label1_position.to_values()[4]
rmax = ax.get_rmax()
ax._r_label1_position.clear().translate(angle, rpad * rmax)
ax._r_label2_position.clear().translate(angle, -rpad * rmax)
update_rpads(ax, rpad=0.05)
Regards,
