Hi,
I have a very crowded plot with lots of subplots, and tick labels tend to overlap. I wanted to drop e.g. the 1st and last x-tick labels for each subplot, doing something like:
ax = P.subplot(1,1,1)
ax.plot([1,2,3,2,1,2,3])
ax.set_xticklabels(['']+
[ lbl.get_text() for lbl in ax.get_xticklabels()[1:-1] ]+
[''])
This works in interactive 'ipython -pylab', but this does not work anymore in a script: in my script, the tick label returned by ax.get_xticklabels() are all empty strings:
print [ lbl.get_text() for lbl in ax.get_xticklabels() ]
returns
['', '', '', '', '', '', '']
It seems the tick text strings are filled in only at the very last moment (at show() time?).
Any help out there?
Cheers,
···

If the plots share the same x and y axis, look at creating an axisGrid with
share_all=True, label_mode = "L",
see
http://http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/simple_axesgrid.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/simple_axesgrid.html
for a simple example
Cheers
