Dear Nils, I think that I've found what you need (example adapted from http://notes.brooks.nu/2008/03/plotting-on-left-and-right-axis-simulateously-using-matplotlib-and-numpy/ )
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np #data to plot x = np.linspace(0,5,num=100) y = np.sinc(x) fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16,10)) #figure ax = fig.add_subplot(111) #axis containing the figure ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111, sharex=ax, sharey=ax, frameon=False) #axis that shares both x and y and without frame (so ax is visible) ax.plot(x, y) #plot the data ax1.xaxis.tick_top() #show ticks on top ax1.yaxis.tick_right() #show ticks on the right Now if you do any modification on the ax limits should reflect on ax1. Might be that there is some smarter way of doing it, but if the project is not too long and efficiency is not a problem, I think that this example will suffice Cheers, Francesco Il 27 aprile 2012 14:50, Nils Wagner <nils...@googlemail.com> ha scritto: > Dear Francesco, > > Thank you for your prompt reply ! > My incomplete example is below. > > import matplotlib.pyplot as plt > fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16,10)) > ax = fig.add_subplot(111) > ind = np.arange(nfreq) > yoff = np.array([0.0]*nfreq) > for row in range(nsets): > > ax.bar(ind,A[row,:],width,bottom=yoff, > color=colours[row],label=elabel[row]) > yoff = yoff + A[row,:] > > plt.legend(loc="upper left", bbox_to_anchor=(1,1)) > plt.xticks(ind+0.5*width,np.arange(nfreq)+1,rotation=90) > ax.set_xlim(0.,nfreq) > ax.set_ylim(0.,102.) > plt.subplots_adjust(left=0.075, right=0.85, top=0.9, bottom=0.05) > plt.show() > > How can I add xtick labels on the top of my figure ? > > Cheers, > Nils > > > On 4/27/12, Francesco Montesano <franz.berges...@googlemail.com> wrote: >> Dear Nils, >> >> you can try to play with >> i) ax.axis["right", "top", "bottom", "left"] and their methods (see >> setup_axis3 here >> http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/axes_grid/demo_floating_axes.html >> for an example) >> ii) twinx and twiny axes (example >> http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/two_scales.html ) >> >> The first one can be a bit confusing with orientations.
