Hi all,
I have a question about zorder and Axis elements. I read in the
thread titled "zorder not working for grid lines??" that since grid
lines are Axis elements, they don't respect the zorder. It's
possible to set grid lines below other plot elements with
Axis.set_axisbelow(). However, I have a case where I want grid lines
to be below my plot elements, but I want the ticks to be above them
(test code attached). As it stands, they can be either both below or
both above.
Has anyone found a way around this limitation? Is having zorder
apply to Axis elements on the wishlist?
Thanks for any info,
Mike
from pylab import *
# setup a simple plot
rcParams['xtick.major.size'] = 12
rcParams['ytick.major.size'] = 12
x = arange(5)
plot(x,x,'g',zorder=4)
ax = gca()
# add a rectangle that extends to the right edge
ax.add_patch(matplotlib.patches.Rectangle((1.75,1.75), 5, 1.5, fill=True, zorder=2))
# put grid lines behind rectangle
ax.grid(True)
gridlines = ax.get_xgridlines()+ax.get_ygridlines()
setp(gridlines, 'zorder', 1)
# put tick lines above rectangle
ticklines = ax.get_lines()+ax.get_xticklines()+ax.get_yticklines()
setp(ticklines, 'zorder', 3)
show()
