Thicker Frame and Remove Part of Frame

Community matplotlib-users

Hi

How can I:

  1. make the frame of the plot thicker and

  2. remove the top and right of the frame.

Thanks

There are probably a number of ways to do this (partly because spines are relatively new). Here's one possibility:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([0, 1])
ax.spines['right'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['top'].set_visible(False)
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
ax.spines['bottom'].set_linewidth(3)
ax.spines['left'].set_linewidth(3)
plt.show()

Best,
-Tony

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot([0, 1])

ax.spines[‘right’].set_visible(False)

ax.spines[‘top’].set_visible(False)

ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position(‘bottom’)

ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position(‘left’)

ax.spines[‘bottom’].set_linewidth(3)

ax.spines[‘left’].set_linewidth(3)

plt.show()
