Does the following do what you want?
 plt.xticks(x_dat, x_label, va='baseline')
 plt.gca().xaxis.set_tick_params(pad=16)

I want to make some mods to a few selected tick labels.
For example, if I do
 label = axes.yaxis.get_major_ticks()[2].label
 label.set_fontsize(size)
 label.set_rotation('vertical')
the font size and the orientation of the tick label is changed. However, 
if try
 label.set_text('Foo')
the tick label is *not* modified.
Any clues?
Best regards,
Mads

Hi,
Suppose you do this:
axes = self.figure().get_axes()
contour = axes.contourf(x,y,z)
colorbar = self.figure().colorbar(contour)
Suppose that the contour data changes, can you update the colorbar with 
the new data?
Currently I remove the colorbar and insert a new one - but I have a 
feeling that something smarter could be done.
Best regards,
Mads

Daniel,
Here's how civil-engineer-hack-fest that i'd use to do it:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(0,10,0.1)
y = -4 + 2*x - 1.5*x**2
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots()
ax1.plot(x, y, 'c-', lw=2.5, zorder=10)
ax1.plot(x, y, 'k-', lw=4.0, zorder=5)
plt.show()
Hope that helps.

Hello,
I would like to plot a simple line using plt.plot(x, y, ‘w--’, lw=2)
or with the corresponding axes instance ax.plot(x, y, ‘w--’, lw=2).
However, I want the line to have a thin black edge like the edge of a
marker. Is this possible? I tried to find a property of the Line2D
object but I could not find anything. Has someone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
