How to remove x axis in a subplotted graph

kususe · March 14, 2012, 9:44am

Hi folks,
I have a graph got using the subplot command.
I'd like to remove all ticks in X axis in all of graph.

I used: plt.setp(plt.gca(),'XtickLabel',[])

but I get that:

File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/artist.py", line 1169, in setp
func = getattr(o,funcName)
AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'set_xticklabel'

Suggestions?
Thanks in advance
K

Hi folks,

I have a graph got using the subplot command.

I’d like to remove all ticks in X axis in all of graph.

I used: plt.setp(plt.gca(),‘XtickLabel’,)

but I get that:

File “/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/artist.py”, line 1169, in setp
func = getattr(o,funcName)
AttributeError: ‘AxesSubplot’ object has no attribute ‘set_xticklabel’

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You’re missing an “s”; i.e. “xticklabels”. Also, the more conventional pattern is to call the axes method, i.e.:

ax = plt.gca()

ax.set_xticklabels()

or, if want to remove both labels and the tick-lines

ax.set_xticks()

Best,

-Tony

Thanks, it works.
But if the graph is just one in a figure.

I created various graph and I wanna remove all ticks in all of X axis.
I coded:

                plt.subplot(3,1,1)
    p1, = plt.plot(self.data0,self.data1)
                .....
    plt.subplot(3,1,2)
    p2, = plt.plot(self.data0,self.data2)
    .....
    plt.subplot(3,1,3)
    p3, = plt.plot(self.data0,self.data4)
    .....

how can I work the problem out?
Thanks in advance

I would do the following (subplots requires mpl 1.0, I think):

fig, axes = plt.subplots(ncols=3)

ax1, ax2, ax3 = axes

ax1.plot(x, y1)

…

ax2.plot(x, y2)

…

ax3.plot(x, y3)

…

for ax in axes:\

ax.set_xticks()

…

Cheers,

I got an error using the first subplot function because I have to specify 3
parameters.
If i do it, I get that "AxesSubplot' object is not iterable"
I coded using 3 subplot functions, getting the same error.

Thanks

Note that I wrote subplots with an “s”, which is a different command than subplot. (You’re really having problems with "s"s today

BTW, would you mind interleaving or bottom-posting replies. It’s a bit easier to follow the conversation that way.

Yes, for sure I coded:

    ax1, ax2, ax3 = axes
