First of all, I recommend you to use spines instead of SubplotZero of
axes_grid toolkit.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html
If you use axes_grid toolkit, keep in mind that some axis-related
command of matplotlib may not work. Please take a look at the
documentation.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/overview.html#axisline
If something does not work, see if
ax.axis[xzero].set_visible(True)
solves the problem. This will recover the original behavior of
matplotlib, but some functionality of axes_grid toolkit may not work
anymore.
To have a horizontal label with axes_grid,
ax.axis[left].get_helper()._label_angles[left]=0
While it is best if something like
ax.axis[left].label.set_rotation(horizontal) work, but it does not
currently. I'll try to fix this in time but use one of the options
above.

hi all,
i am trying to make horizontal (as opposed to the default vertical)
rotated labels for axes in my subplots. i tried using the
'orientation' optional argument, as follows:
from numpy import *
from scipy import *
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.axislines import SubplotZero
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = SubplotZero(fig, 3, 1, 1)
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(ax)
ax.axis[xzero].set_visible(True)
plt.plot([1,2,3], label=line a, c='r')
plt.plot([1.2, 2.4, 3.01], label=line b, c='b')
plt.ylabel(hello, rotation='horizontal')
ax = SubplotZero(fig, 3, 1, 2)
ax2 = fig.add_subplot(ax)
plt.plot([1,2,3], label=line a, c='r')
plt.plot([1.2, 2.4, 3.01], label=line b, c='b')
plt.ylabel(world)
ax = SubplotZero(fig, 3, 1, 3)
ax3 = fig.add_subplot(ax)
plt.plot([1,2,3], label=line a, c='r')
plt.plot([1.2, 2.01, 3.01], label=line b, c='b')
plt.figlegend([ax1.lines[0], ax1.lines[1]], [line a, line b], 'upper
right')
but it does not work. both the labels hello and world of the y
axes are displayed in their default vertical orientation. the argument
seems to have no effect. i am using matplotlib '0.99.0' on Mac OS X.
any ideas how to fix this?
thanks.
