how do I force the second plot to have the same limits on
> the x axis as the first?
The short answer is you can't. You could write some helper functions
or classes to force axes to behave similarly. The example code below
will call any function on all the axes. Use with caution!
class CallAll:
def __init__(self, seq, name):
self.seq = seq
self.name = name
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
for a in self.seq:
func = getattr(a, self.name)
func(*args, **kwargs)
class SharedAxes:
def __init__(self, axlist):
self.axlist = axlist
def __getattr__(self, key):
return CallAll(self.axlist, key)
ax1 = subplot(211)
plot(blah, blah)
ax2 = subplot(212)
plot(blah, blah)
shared = SharedAxes((ax1, ax2))
shared.set_xlim(0,2)
