[Matplotlib-users] Set sharex and sharey on the axes object

[Yuxiang W. <yw...@vi...>]

Dear all,

I was wondering that, is there a method like axes.set_sharex(ax0) so I
can directly set the sharex and sharey properties of an axes object?
It seems that the only way to do this is at time of creation via
fig.add_subplots(1, 2, 2, sharex=ax0). If I have already created the
axes using the plt.subplots() method, this wouldn't work.

Could anyone please help make sure that I am understanding this
question correctly?

Thank you!

Shawn

This is correct.  If you use plt.subplots with sharex and/or sharey, the 
sharing applies to all subplots.
