Re: [Matplotlib-users] Axes3d have improved handling of label placement yet

I have noticed that at the angle the figure is at the ticklabels look like they are at the center of the grid boxes. This is not the case because if you turn it to the side as the example below image.pdf. The 0.00, 0.05 on the I_lw axis are supposed to be at the actual tick marks. Thus, can the axis be manually moved too? This isn't a huge deal but I was just wondering if it was possible to offset the ticklabels. I looked in the _axinfo but looks like for ticklabel their is only a space_factor parameter. Cheers, Jeff The effect you are seeing is that the tick labels are set to be below and in front of the tick marks. More specifically, what happens is that the ticklabels (and the axis label) are offsetted away from the center of the domain. The space_factor value you found is just some empirical value that I have found to work fairly well. Effectively, there is only a radial-like control over the spacing, not a finer-grained control. That being said, you can modify the va value of the _axinfo to control the vertical allignment of the labels. I would wonder if messing around with that might have some desired impact. Another possibility is to use '\n' characters before or after the main text for the label to make an apparent shift. Just some ideas to play around with. Cheers!

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Axes3d have improved handling of label placement yet
Jeffrey, Sorry if the documentation is a bit vague on the _axinfo front. It was intentionally done that way to keep the number of people dependent upon that kludge down. It was created as an improvement upon the previous hard-coded constants that completely prevented anybody from making any customizations at all. The spacing of tick labels for an axis can be modified like so: ax.xaxis._axinfo['ticklabel']['space_factor'] = 0.7 # This is the default value. Make it less to bring it closer to the axis and for the axis label: ax.xaxis._axinfo['label']['space_factor'] = 1.6 # Again, this is the default value. Make it larger to move it away from the axis I hope that helps!

No matter changing the fontsize or plot_size or other things. I can't find something that works properly. I found somethwhere setting linespacing should work but this seems to do nothing in my case. Any good suggestions or updates on this?? I'm using 1.2.x matplotlib version. I put a plot here showing how the label overlaps but I know this has been a problem in the past. Also, I couldn't figure out how to get access to the _axinfo like stated in the documentation for a possible fix. Where is this located?? How do I acess or modify it as a temporary fix?? -- See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
