How to rotate label on a twin axes

Community matplotlib-users

Hello,

One more figure and one more question. http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6454/labelrotation.png

I want to rotate the 2nd y-axis label “Air Temperature” upside down in other words rotating 180 degree while A staying up. Unfortunately set_rotation method is not available to a SubplotHost instance.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,8))
host = SubplotHost(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(host)
pary = host.twinx()

host.set_xlabel("Time [sfm]")
host.set_ylabel("Pressure Altitude [m]")
pary.set_ylabel(r"Air Temperature [$^o\hspace{-0.5}C$]")
#pary.set_rotation("270")

The below line is supposed to work but it does not, which is a bug.

  pary.axis["right"].label.set_rotation(270)

Meanwhile, use may use something like below,

  pary.axis["right"].get_helper()._label_angles["right"]=270

fig = plt\.figure\(figsize=\(10,8\)\)
host = SubplotHost\(fig, 111\)
fig\.add\_subplot\(host\)
pary = host\.twinx\(\)

host\.set\_xlabel\(&quot;Time \[sfm\]&quot;\)
host\.set\_ylabel\(&quot;Pressure Altitude \[m\]&quot;\)
pary\.set\_ylabel\(r&quot;Air Temperature \[$^o\\hspace\{\-0\.5\}C$\]&quot;\)
\#pary\.set\_rotation\(&quot;270&quot;\)
