Here is another example of unwanted text clipping in the gallery: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/two_scales.html#api-two-scales (Both y axis labels are clipped.) I also think the example would be more complete if it 1. set a 270 degree rotation on the second ylabel, and 2. showed how to make a single legend for the two lines Btw, how *does* one best do 2? Cheers, Alan Isaac

I don't know if it's best, but legend can take a list of objects and labels, so you can just grab all of the objects from the twin, and put them all in one legend: def onelegend_twinaxes(axis,twin): #make a joint axis legend lines = twin.get_lines() lines.extend(axis.get_lines()) labels = [l.get_label() for l in lines] return axis.legend(lines, labels) Here's a picture of what that looks like (thought I did some other prettifications). <http://pirsquared.org/images/twinaxes_onelegend.png> I wrote this in a solution set for a class I'm TAing this semester, so you can look at the whole thing here, if you'd like. the file is part of the solutions for Lab #1, it's called lab1.py (but actually links to lab1.txt): <http://redwood.berkeley.edu/wiki/VS265:_Homework_assignments> -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7

What proportion of the students choose Python? Cheers, Alan

This is the first time that Python's been officially encouraged, and it's been about 1 in 6. -- Paul Ivanov 314 address only used for lists, off-list direct email at: http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7

For this example, saving the line objects will do. Then you just call legend with the objects. The new example looks thusly: import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111) t = np.arange(0.01, 10.0, 0.01) s1 = np.exp(t) line1 = ax1.plot(t, s1, 'b-') ax1.set_xlabel('time (s)') # Make the y-axis label and tick labels match the line color. ax1.set_ylabel('exp', color='b') for tl in ax1.get_yticklabels(): tl.set_color('b') ax2 = ax1.twinx() s2 = np.sin(2*np.pi*t) line2 = ax2.plot(t, s2, 'r.') # Rotate ylabel 180 from normal y-axis label orientation ax2.set_ylabel('sin', color='r', rotation=270.) for tl in ax2.get_yticklabels(): tl.set_color('r') ax2.legend((line1, line2), ('exp(t)', '$sin(2 \pi t)$')) plt.show() Thanks for the suggestions. Any idea how the clipped figure problem was solved in the past? Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma

Thanks. This is cool, but I think I find the colored tick
labels visually distracting. Isn't a colored axis label enough?
Cheers,
