Dear matplotlib users, I have a problem with my plots, it is that the plot axes and the tick marks are too small, is there a way to increase the 'lineweight' and size of these basic features? I am not asking about axis label text size and that of the information inside the plot, but rather the basic skeleton of the plot. I suppose I can make thicker ticks by hand w/ the xvline and xhline modules, but I'd rather not do it this way. Also I often find that the xlabel is too close to the plot box (xaxis) is there a way to increase this distance besides making my own labels via text. Thanks, Matthew |
