Hi Mark, I really didn't tested anything about yours sketch... But I think "AxisArtist" could be of any help. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#axisartist
Good luck.

My problems center around axes > / spines. In detail, my problems are: > > 1) I want an y-axis on the left that spans from -0.6 to 1.1, ends in an > arrow, has major ticks at 0 and 1 and minor ticks at [0.1...0.9] > As far as I understand, there is no option to let spines end in an arrow > head, so I have to draw the myself. I get the ticks to appear at the right > positions and the y-range to be as desired - however, the spine line is not > drawn over the full y-range, but only where there is data in the diagram. > Also, I copied the arrow annotation code blindly from an older post on this > list, but do not understand how I can adapt the arrow head to appear at a > data position (instead of at the corner of the Axes area). One problem is, > that I get ticks on the right although that spine was disabled. > > 2) I want some kind of x-axis at y==0, without ticks and without arrow > Using some methods on the spines, I can disable the top spine and move the > bottom spine to zero.
