how to make an axis labels visible in axes_grid?

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

I have an AxesGrid instance of 2x2 subplots. I actually only
want 3 subplots, so I instantiate AxesGrid with the add_all=False
option, and manually add only the first 3 axes to the figure:

import matplotlib as plt
from mpl_toolkits import axes_grid

f = plt.figure()
grid = axes_grid.AxesGrid(f, 111, nrows_ncols=(2,2), add_all=False)
f.add_axes(grid.axes_all[0])
f.add_axes(grid.axes_all[1])
f.add_axes(grid.axes_all[2])

Now, the problem seems to be that the top right subplot doesn't
have visible labels on the x axis, and I can't figure out how to
add them. Any idea of how it can be done??

Thanks.

axes_grid uses a custome axes class. See

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#axisline

For more details, see

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axislines.html

To make ticklabel visible, you may do

grid.axes_all[1].axis["bottom"].major_ticklabels.set_visible(True)

However, AxesGrid takes an *ngrids* parameter which controls the
number of grids. So, in your example,

f = plt.figure()
grid = axes_grid.AxesGrid(f, 111, nrows_ncols=(2,2), ngrids=3)

(no manual adding of grids. also top-right axes will have x-ticklabels
by default).
