Alternatively,

ax=gca()
ax.xaxis.labelpad=15 # pad in points

Look into your matplotlibrc file, for the following lines:

#axes.linewidth

#xtick.major.size and three other adjustments.

Not sure how to update these in code yet. Let me know when you figure out :)

I[3]: label = plt.xlabel ("baskervilles")

I[5]: label.set_position ?

Too dry but it is what you want:

I[77]: plt.plot(range(10))
O[77]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xe976a6c>]

I[78]: ax = plt.gca()

I[85]: ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(pylab.NullLocator())

I[86]: ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(pylab.NullLocator())

Hi!  Sorry for the really elementary Q's but I'm not having much luck searching the User Guide:

How do I turn all ticks off (i.e., the labels and the tick mark lines, on both axes)?

Thanks!

DG


      

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
