hi all, i am trying to adjust the space (padding) between the tickmarks on an axes and the labels. usually, i can do this by setting 'xtick.major.pad' and 'xtick.minor.pad' (and same for y-axis) in rcParams. however, when i try to do this with a figure made using the "SubplotZero" function, it seems to only work for the y-axis and not the x-axis for some reason -- here is an example:
import matplotlib matplotlib.use('PDF') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib import rc rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']}) plt.rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']}) plt.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42 plt.rcParams['font.size'] = 10 from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines import SubplotZero def setup_axes(fig, labelpad=1, invisible=["bottom", "top", "right"]): plt.rcParams['ytick.major.pad'] = 2 plt.rcParams['ytick.minor.pad'] = 2 # Y ticks work, but X tick do not... plt.rcParams['xtick.major.pad'] = 0.01 plt.rcParams['xtick.minor.pad'] = 0.01 ax = SubplotZero(fig, 1, 1, 1) fig.add_subplot(ax) # make xzero axis (horizontal axis line through y=0) visible. ax.axis["xzero"].set_visible(True) # make other axis (bottom, top, right) invisible. for n in invisible: ax.axis[n].set_visible(False) return ax fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5, 5), dpi=300) setup_axes(fig, labelpad=2) x = range(1, 11) y = [5000, 900, 600, 500, 200, 110, 50, 20, 10, 5] plt.plot(x, y) ax = plt.gca() plt.savefig('test.pdf') i am seeing the ylabels get closer to the y-axis, but the x-axis seems to have no effect. it seems to be related to SubplotZero since otherwise in ordinary plots this works fine. any idea how this could be fixed? thanks very much for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
