How did you set your ticklabels? Again, matplotlib does not guarantee that all ticks that are returned by get_ticks() will be actually drawn. On other words, get_ticks may return ticks that are meaningless (and this is not a bug). Also, colorbar axes works slightly differently from normal axes, but I'm not sure if this is related with your problem. As far as I can say, the use of get_ticks(), get_ticklabels() and etc method should be limited to when you want to view/change their artist attributes (like colors, etc.). You should not rely on this to determine things like, whether some ticks will be drawn, locations of ticks, and etc. -JJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
