Hi Pierre, I'm not sure I understand correctly - maybe you could provide a small stand-alone example which illustrates your problem. For me the following works fine:
ax = axes() ax.bar(arange(10), np.random.uniform(size=10)) xticks(0.5+arange(10), ["$a_%i$" % (i) for i in arange(10)]) xlim(xmax=12) show() Kind regards, Matthias On Thursday 14 January 2010 09:42:24 Pierre-Yves wrote: > Dear all, > > I am facing a small problem with xlim and xticks and nor google nor the > api helped me (one of the reason being that I likely don't know the > exact term I am looking for). > > I am plotting a barplot using pyplot and bar() on matplotlib 0.98.5.2. > If I do not use xticks the x axis goes from 0 to 500 leaving some empty > space at the right of the last bar before the frame. > When I use xticks to name my bar (name being either a string or nothing > I tried both), then the frame come beside the last bar on the right of > the plot. > > Then problem is that I want to keep this space between the last bar and > the frame. > I looked at > pyplot.xlim(0,500) > pyplot.xlim(xmax = 500) > but if print pyplot.axis() returns the correct dimension the frame still > persists at this place. > > How could I set the width correctly and use xticks ? > > I hope I am clear in my explanations. > > Pierre > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >--- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the > world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for > Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important > issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and > established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Matplotlib-users mailing list > Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
