turn off tick reflection

Community matplotlib-users

Dear matplotlib users,

I'm trying to make a plot that shares the x axis, but that have two different y scales. I can do this, almost, I say almost because I don't know how to turn off the reflection of my y ticks, so they are reflected and obscure the scale on the other side, if the scales aren't similar.

I looked at the example
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/plot_directive/mpl_examples/api/two_scales.py

and it hints at a solution (Hint: use the xaxis instance and call tick_bottom and tick_top in place of tick_left and tick_right.), but this doesn't make any sense to me. I think I need to

"Turn the axes rectangular frame off on the 2nd axes to keep it from obscuring the first."

but I'm not sure if this is what I need to do, if it is, I'm also not sure how to do this.

Thanks for any ideas,
Matthew

I'm afraid that I'm not sure what the problem is. The two_scales.py
example looks okay to me.
Can you post a screenshot of your result (with some annotation if
possible) so that we can have better idea what is wrong?

Regards,
