Re: [Matplotlib-users] Common ylabel for subplots

2009-03-10 Thread Chip Webber 
Does this get you close?  It seems what your trying to do might be a bit 
ambiguous, but I understand the problem with the y-axis when there are 
lots of subplots.

Maybe it would be better to change the y-ticker to make fewer ticks or 
the labels to be smaller.

-Chip

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

t = [0,1]
y=[0,1]

fig = plt.figure()

plt.axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8], frameon=True, axisbg='w')
ax = fig.add_subplot(211)
plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False)
plt.plot(t,y)
ax = fig.add_subplot(212)
plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False)
plt.plot(t,y)
plt.show()

Well, I'm using matplotlib 0.98.5.2, I'm not sure if that makes a 
difference or not.

Here's what I'm seeing:

It's pretty rough, but I thought it might give you an idea or two.  Like 
I said, I've been meaning to clean up my subplots too I just haven't had 
time to do it.  I'd be curious to see how you do it if you get it working :)

-Chip


I'm pasting the source again in case I fumbled the last attempt:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Make one axis that spans several subplots

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

t = [0,1]
y = [0,1]

fig = plt.figure()

plt.axes([0.1,0.1,0.8,0.8], frameon=True, axisbg='w')
ax = fig.add_subplot(211)
plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False)
plt.plot(t,y)
ax = fig.add_subplot(212)
plt.setp(ax.get_yticklabels(), visible=False)
plt.plot(t,y)
plt.show()
