[Matplotlib-users] applying format to numbering

[Meesters, C. <mee...@un...>]

Hi,=20

It's me again ... I still do not find my way out of the problem on how I =
can apply a format to the numbering of an axis. I am using the WXAgg =
backend and this is my code:

font =3D FontProperties()
self.font =3D font.copy()
self.font.set_size('x-small')
self.font.set_family('serif')
self.font.set_style('normal')
self.font.set_variant('normal')
self.font.set_weight('light')

<snip>and then a function plot_data:

def plot_data(self):
<snip>
			a =3D self.fig.add_subplot(111)
			a.grid(self.g)
	=09
		for x,y in zip(self.active_datasets,linestyles):
			if len(self.datasets)=3D=3D1: a.set_title('Spatial Distribution of =
%s' % x.attributes['name'], fontproperties=3Dself.font, =
horizontalalignment=3D'right')
			if self.log_intensity:
				a.semilogy(x.ichannel,x.intensity,'k',y)
				a.set_xlim([0,len(x.ichannel)])
				a.set_ylabel(r'$log_{10} \rm{(Intensity [counts])}$', =
fontproperties=3Dself.font) 				a.set_xlabel(r'$\rm{channels}$', =
fontproperties=3Dself.font)
<snip>

Now, how can I apply the font to the subplot? In order to illustrate the =
problem a little bit better, I attached a part of a screen shot.
Here, with just one single subplot there is actually no problem and the =
plot would look absolutely stunning witht the default font. But with =
more than one subplot in the panel there is just not enough space to =
display all labels and the numbering on my screen.

I guess the solution is not half as complicated than the things I've =
tried. But since it is not really obvious to me, I am willing to =
contribute an example to this topic if there is not already one. Are =
there guidelines on how to file examples?
