Re: [Matplotlib-users] Axis ticks 'zorder'

[Michael W. <ma...@mi...>]

I've just run into this problem myself. I think I've tracked down the
offending code to lines 1910-1916 of

/usr/lib/pymodules/pythn2.7/matplotlib/axes.py

this is within the function definition for draw()

-----

if self.axison and not inframe:
    if self._axisbelow:
        self.xaxis.set_zorder(0.5)
        self.yaxis.set_zorder(0.5
    else:
        self.xaxis.set_zorder(2.5)
        self.yaxis.set_zorder(2.5)

In particular, the zorder of 2.5 is being set by lines 1915-1916 (the last
of the lines copied above.

Seems the source of the bug to me, but I have no idea what the procedure is
for getting it logged and fixed.
