Hiding axis

Community matplotlib-users
#1

Hi,

I’m using matplotlib to draw some generative art works. I’m trying to hide the axis but when I do that the lines that are over the axis are hidden as well, like this example: http://i.imgur.com/hKqMi.png

The code I’m using to generate those kind of random walk plots is here: https://gist.github.com/4164025

I already tried subplots_adjust, and set_alpha/set_visible on axis and spines but anything worked.

Any help?

Thank you so much.

I think your problem is with clipping. Try the no_clip function in
this thread [1] and see if that helps.

I just edited your file :
https://gist.github.com/4203760

I made 2 changes:
* added a call to random.seed to make you code reproductible.
* altered the call to set_clip_on(False). It should be called on the
Line2D object returned by plot()

I think it solves your clipping problem.

Best,
Pierre

Pierre, it works perfectly! Thank you so much.

All the best.
