Hi,
First of all, thanks to the developers for such a great Python plotting
package. I use matplotlib more and more for my work.
There is one thing, which I cannot get to work, namely to change the
linewidth of the tick lines.
I have tried
ticklines = ax.get_xticklines()
ticklines.extend(ax.get_yticklines())
for line in ticklines:
line.set_linewidth(10)
but nothing changes. I can change the color and other properties, but no
matter what I set for the linewidth, it does not change. I have also tried
to go in and
ticklines[0]._linewidth = 10
but again no change. If I do a similar thing for the color
ticklines[0]._color = 'b'
the color is changed.
I use matplotlib 0.91 on a RedHat EL 4 machine.
Any ideas on how to solve this would be much appreciated. I have searched
the mailing lists and the site, but could not find a solution (apologies
if I should have missed it)
Best regards,
Berit

This is the correct approach but it is a tricky one. In matplotlib,
the ticks are *markers*. All Line2D objects support a line (solid,
dashed, etc) and a marker (circle, square, tick). The tick linewidth
is controlled by the "markeredgewidth" property.
from pylab import figure, show
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(range(10))
for line in ax.get_xticklines() + ax.get_yticklines():
line.set_markeredgewidth(10)
show()
BTW -- this is covered in the somewhat new artist api tutorial at
http://matplotlib.sf.net/pycon/artist_api_tut.pdf

The property you are probably interested is the markersize (marker size in points) though markeredgewidth may be useful too.... JDH |

Hi again, Thanks a lot for all the replies. Markersize and Markeredgewidth work beautifully. A couple more questions, which is, I think, are related to what Erik Tollerud asked -Is it correct that I can only mix math symbols and normal text in an axis label, when I use "usetex = True" -When I do that and set the default font to e.g. Helvetica, everything gets printed in Helvetica, except the numbers on the axes. How can I get them in Helvetica as well? Thanks a lot!

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
>No. As of 0.91 and later, you can mix normal text with math. Just
>stick the math inside a pair of '$'.
I just realized that I have version 0.90 installed. Is it advisable to
upgrade to 0.93 or to 0.98 directly? Also, how do I uninstall the 0.90
version before installing the new one? My old version is located in
site-packages as an .egg directory.
As for the code to set the fonts, I use
rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif', 'sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
Best regards, Berit
No. As of 0.91 and later, you can mix normal text with math. Just
stick the math inside a pair of '$'.

Can you include a snippet of code showing how you set those fonts?

I never use eggs myself, but you should be able to delete that egg
directory and then install a new matplotlib version. matplotlib doesn't
install anything required outside of site-packages/matplotlib.

That seems to work for me for any font I throw at it. Do you have
usetex on, or any other non-default settings in your matplotlibrc file?
Are you running this line (above) before any plotting?
Cheers,
Mike
