This thread is a few months old now, but I just wanted to mention that I am
using JJ's workaround (thanks!) in my app--with either one or two y
axes--and it is just excellent.
This should definitely be at least an option for matplotlib users--the
quality of the appearance of the plots now is like night and day, because,
to me, seeing a plot without its axes labels (I'm talking about in a
resizable plot embedded in an application, not a static graph for inclusion
in a publication) is a *major* look and feel demerit.
