A quick fix (since you need an exam, I guess) would be to make the label with the ‘text’ command and put it where you want it.
I am interested in an elegant fix,

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] creating a blank graph with room for hand

I am writing a final exam and I want my students to sketch a graph of
something and label the plot themselves. So, I need to create an axis

with x and y labels, but with no tick marks. This I can do, but
creating blank tick marks seems to get rid of the space where the
students would write in their own tick marks. Playing with
xtick.major.pad doesn’t seem to help. What should I be doing? This

is my code:

figure(20)
clf()
xlim([0,0.1])
ylim([-10,10])
xlabel(‘Time (sec)’)

yticks(arange(-10,11,2))#,[‘’]*10)

ylabel(r’v_{out}(t)')
grid(True)
fname=‘blank_time_plot.eps’

outdir=‘figs’

ylim([-5,5])
yticks(arange(-5,5.2),[‘’]*10)
xticks(arange(1,10),[‘’]*10)

and the result is attached (png).

Thanks,

Ryan
