As specified in the doc http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/axis_api.html?highlight=get_majorticklabels#matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_majorticklabels
it returns a list of Text instances. You may use http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#matplotlib.text.Text.get_text to retrieve the strings associated. For example, [t.get_text() for t in ax.xaxis.get_majorticklabels()] -JJ On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Gökhan Sever <gokhanse...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 6:52 AM, John Hunter <jdh2...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 3:29 PM, Gökhan Sever <gokhanse...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Hello, >> > >> > One easy one harder two questions :) >> > >> > My screenshot http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3443/snapshot5.png >> > >> > 1-) I want to link bottom and top x axes as well as left and right y >> > axes. >> > For now on the x-axis xticks are the time in seconds from midnight, not >> > sure >> > how to add the secondary top x axis with time in regular HH:MM:SS >> > representation, without plotting the same data again.
