Problems with yticklabels in combination with the mpl toolkits

Community matplotlib-users

Hi everyone,

I try to make a simple subplot with yticklabels on the left and
right side. Everthing is allright, if I use the subplot command,
but I need the Subplot command from the mpl toolkits in order to hide
some axis. The code below doesn't work for me. Setting label2On=True
or False has no effekt.

Any hint?

Regards, Niko

...
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines import Subplot

fig = plt.figure()
ax = Subplot(fig, 311)
fig.add_subplot(ax)

for tick in ax.yaxis.get_major_ticks():
    tick.label1On = True
    tick.label2On = True
    tick.label2.set_color('r')

...

If what you want is just to hide some axis, I (as a developer of
axes_grid toolkit) strongly recommend you to stick with the mainline
matplotlib. You can easily do it with spines.

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html

axes_grid toolkit uses different kind of artist to draw ticks and
ticklabels, therefore it is not fully compatible with the mainlin
matplotlib. Please take a look at the axes_grid documentation.

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

Instead of yaxis.get_major_ticks() and setting their attribute, you need to use

ax.axis["right"].major_ticklabels.set_visible(True)
ax.axis["right"].major_ticklabels.set_color("red")

or

ax.axis["right"].major_ticklabels.set(visible=True, color="red")
