Re: [Matplotlib-users] axis formatting

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

You can suppress the tick marks on the top and right axis as Mathieu
suggested. Setting frame_on as False will suppresse both the bounding
lines and the white background patch of the axes. You can suppress
only the bounding lines by

 ax = gca()
 ax.frame.set_visble(False)

Note that this will delete not only the top and the right axis lines
but also the bottom and the left ones.
Therefore, you need to manually draw the axis lines (bottom and left).

 p, = ax.plot([0,0],[0,1], "k-", transform=ax.transAxes)
 p.set_clip_on(False)
 p, = ax.plot([0,1],[0,0], "k-", transform=ax.transAxes)
 p.set_clip_on(False)


You may consider to use a custom axes class by Tony.
