Re: [Matplotlib-users] Coordinate transformations and second axis

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

As far as I know, there is no easy way to do that with mpl (especially
when image is involved).
You may manually add ticks and ticklabels (but without using set_ticks, etc).

If you're using 0.99 and later, you may use axes_grid toolkit, but it
has some cons. So, if you're going to use it, please read through the
documentation.

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.parasite_axes import SubplotHost
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.transforms as mtransforms

fig = plt.figure(1, (4,3))

ax = SubplotHost(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
ax.imshow([[1,2],[3,4]], origin="lower")

# transform from arcsecond to pixel
tr = mtransforms.Affine2D().translate(+1,+1).scale(2., 2.)
ax2 = ax.twin(tr)


plt.show()
