turning off tick labels

Community matplotlib-users
1

Dear matplotters,

I’m trying to follow

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

as an example how to turn of the ticks in the case of shared x axes.

The tick labels are gone, but unfortunately, matplotlib still plots a ‘1e5’ on the axis for which I have turned off the tick labels.

Please see the attached file for the problem

How can I also switch of the exponent?

Thanks,

Jan

Try this:

ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(mpl.ticker.ScalarFormatter(useOffset=False))

where 'ax' is the name of the top subplot.

Good luck,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, the line you sent me doesn’t have any effect on the plot, either before or after turning off the tick labels.

Do you have another suggestion?

Cheers,

Jan

Can you send a minimal working example that shows the problem?

Try

ax1.xaxis.offsetText.set_visible(False)

where ax1 is the upper axes.

Yes, yes!

what he said…

Thanks a lot JJ.

Dear developers, would it make sense to have

setp(axes1.get_xticklabels(), visible=False)

also automatically set

axes1.xaxis.offsetText.set_visible(False)

?

Cheers,

Jan
