AxisArtist utilizes a different (compared to the vanilla matplotlib) mechanism for determining tick location etc., so some of the matplotlibcommands do not work. Unfortunately, AxisArtist is still not well documented, and things are often opaque. Below I implemented a method that you can use to con

Dear Jody, This is the original code that I am using: http://old.nabble.com/Taylor-diagram-(2nd-take)-p33364690.html It is a code that plots Taylor diagrams. I would like to get ticks every two points in the standard deviation axis of the Taylor diagrams to avoid overlapping of labels (as I am mak

Perhaps you could include some code that illustrates what you are trying to do? I'm confused if you are trying to do something simple and are just going about it the wrong way, or if you are doing something hard. If I do ax=axes() ax.plot(arange(1.,10.)) xticks(range(0,10,2)) yticks(range(0,

Dear Jody, No, I tried it also... ax.axis["left"].xticks() results in error: 'AxisArtist' object has no attribute 'xticks' ax.xticks() results in error: 'Floating AxesHostAxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'xticks' plt.xticks() or just xticks() does not produce any change. Any idea? http://

Hi, I am working on a plot that requires AxisArtist and I cannot set the tick separation (or nbins) that I want to avoid overlapping of ticklabels. I read http://www.ce.mu.edu.tr/sharedoc/python-matplotlib-doc-1.0.1/html/mpl_toolkits/axes_grid/users/axisartist.html#gridhelper, where they suggest
