Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your answer. Sorry for not replying sooner. I fell asleep
shortly after sending my question.
What is "the OO way"?
Your 1st solution gives:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ticks'
I modified your 2nd solution to accommodate my wishes and needs:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
for label in ax2.yaxis.get_ticklabels():
label.set_horizontalalignment('right')
ax2.tick_params(pad=20)
ax1.plot(list(range(11)))
ax1.set_xlim(0,10)
ax2.set_ylim(0,10)
plt.show()
It seems like an awful hack with that for loop, but it works. I'm not
sure, why the secondary right hand side axis don't have right aligned
labels by default. That would make a lot of sense. It would be great,
if I could set the horizontal alignment without having to use a for
loop. It's just plain ugly. In gnuplot it's as simple as this:
set ytics right
Thanks for your help and providing me with a solution.
