Hola,
Use the SVN version, it works pretty OK with 1.0b2

hi
which is the latest version of numpy supported by matplotlib?
I recently updated to numpy 1.0b2 and I cant import pylab anymore.
part of the problem is this code of numerix.__init__.py:
elif which[0] =3D=3D "numpy":
 try:
 import numpy.oldnumeric as numpy
 from numpy.oldnumeric import *
 except ImportError:
 import numpy
 from numpy import *
 from _sp_imports import nx, infinity
 from _sp_imports import UInt8, UInt16, UInt32
 Matrix =3D matrix
matrix is no longer present on numpy.oldnumeric, so... it breaks....
any hints?

Wow! A guru at work... this solves all my current problems;
your insights and comments are most appreciated!
To return to my first post - matplotlib aims to make simple things
simple - I would argue that the way tickmarks are currently dealt
with is NOT simple & it would be great to see some simplifications
or additions to the interface to deal with the issues raised in this
thread (for example, by aligning their behaviour and properties to=20
other, similar, chart properties).
Thanks again,
Derek

I don't think that's directly supported. Here's a hacky way to do it:
 lines =3D getp(gca(), 'xticklines')
 toplines =3D [ l for l in lines if getp(l, 'ydata') =3D=3D (1,) ]
 setp(toplines, visible=3DFalse)
How I came up with this: I knew that I wanted to make some of the=20=20
xticklines invisible, so I looked at the list of line objects for=20=20
clues as to what differs between them. They seem to have xdata and=20=20
ydata properties, and ydata is (0,) for half of the lines and (1,)=20=20
for the other half, so it looks like it is the vertical position in=20=20
axis coordinates. (xdata seems to be in data coordinates.)

You're right, there is no obvious property to control this. Here's an=20=20
even hackier way to do this (and one that doesn't look very future-=20
proof):
 for l in getp(gca(), 'xticklines'):
 setp(l, 'marker', 5-getp(l, 'marker'))
The line objects have a marker property, which is 2 for some markers=20=20
and 3 for the others... so I guessed that one of them means upwards=20=20
and the other downwards, and checked this guess by flipping the=20=20
xtick.direction parameter and looking again. So subtracting the=20=20
marker from 5 flips the direction.
I wonder how this is done in Matlab?

I think you cannot do this with setp alone. Use the ylabel command:
 ylabel('foo bar', fontsize=3D18)

Jordan,
I don't think so; and although I have not thought hard about it, my 
impression is that adding this capability would take a lot of work and 
redesign. I expect that in most cases what you describe would not be 
the desired behavior, so it would have to be a non-default option.

Hi all,
Sometime in the past couple months, there's been a change in SVN that's 
causing me problems when trying to hide tick labels. I think the problem is 
related to the get_xticklabels()/get_yticklabels() methods of the Axes class, 
in that they only return a list consisting of a single tick label no matter 
how many there should be. I'm encountering this problem in SVN rev. 2706.
Here is some example code:
from pylab import *
# set up a plot
x = arange(5)
ax = subplot(111)
ax.plot(x, x)
# hide the first tick label on the x axis
xtl = ax.get_xticklabels()
xtl[0].set_visible(False)
print len(xtl)
ax.set_xlabel('foo')
show()
For me, no x tick labels are drawn, and the length of xtl is one instead of 
the expected 9. 
Can anyone reproduce this?
Mike

So I have a contourf plot and I am resetting the ylims so as to only 
display a subset of the full contourf plot. Is there anyway to set norm 
and the colorbar so they take their colormapping settings using the data 
currently on display? By which I mean: the full dataset has a range of 
260-320. The reset axes limits display a region that only has values 
between 280-310. I'd like the colormap to extend over this range of 
values automatically, without having to set vmin=280, vmax=310. Any way 
to do that?
