Hi all,
I'm seeing some unexpected behavior when trying to hide a tick label, which I like to do with ganged plots. When I attempt this, however, it seems the axis label is no longer drawn. For example,
x = arange(5)
ax = subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, x)
xtl = ax.get_xticklabels()
xtl[0].set_visible(False)
ax.set_xlabel('foo')
will correctly not draw the leftmost x tick label, but it won't draw the axis label ('foo') either. Subsequently issuing ax.get_xaxis().get_label().set_visible(True) doesn't help. Any thoughts?
Mike
