I followed his advice and created my own formatter: from matplotlib.ticker import LogFormatterMathtext class MyFormatter(LogFormatterMathtext): def __call__(self, x, pos=None): if pos==0: return '' # pos=0 is the first tick else: return LogFormatterMathtext.__call__(self, x, pos) ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(MyFormatter()) On 9/14/07, Jouni K.
