I was pleasantly surprised I could hide the x axis labels on the upper subplots using the following code: for subplot in self.subplotArr[0:-1]: # can't find API equivalent of pylab.setp so... for ticklabel in subplot.get_xticklabels(): ticklabel.set_visible(False) since it's a strip chart and new X ticks are constantly being created as time advances. Thank heavens it doesn't show labels on the new ones. I also tried axis_grid1 but was unable to get plots, and since the other technique is working and more backward-compatible I'm happy to stick to that.
