setting thickness of axis frame

That is not working for me. Is it working now for the OP?

Actually, I just went back and found a reply from Jae-Joon to a post of mine in November about this. He points out that get_frame() is deprecated, but that gca().frame.set_linewidth(2) should work. This is not working for me either now (it was at the time), and now that I notice, I am also unable to change the tick width the way I used to:

for tl in pp.gca().get_xticklines() + pp.gca().get_yticklines():
     tl.set_markeredgewidth(2)

...and I also can get invert_yaxis() (or xaxis) to work either.

I'm on windows, using 0.98.5, ang Qt4Agg backend. I get no warnings or errors. Does anyone have any ideas?

Christopher,

Everything works fine for me.
Can it be just that the canvas is not redrawn after you set the linewidth?
It will be helpful if you post a standalone script that reproduces your problem.

Yes, this was the problem. I don't know why the same scripts were working before, but adding draw() now does the trick.
