Hi,
Im running mpl 1.01 from sf installer with py2.7 on windows xp. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong in the following snippet:
import matplotlib.pyplot as pp
fig = pp.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
# works (tick labels are blue):
for tick in ax1.yaxis.get_major_ticks():
tick.label1.set_color('blue')
# does not work (tick labels are not red):
for tick in ax2.yaxis.get_major_ticks():
tick.label1.set_color('red')
pp.show()

Confirmed with the v1.1.x branch as well. Although, I don’t play with twinx() enough to know if this is really a bug or not, but my vote is that it is a bug.

Try this instead:
import matplotlib.pyplot as pp
fig = pp.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax1.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor='b')
ax2.tick_params(axis='y', labelcolor='r')
pp.show()

You should use tick.label2, not tick.label1.
tick.label2.set_color('red')
Anyhow, as Eric said, it is strongly advised to use the tick_params method.
