Thread: [Matplotlib-users] Problem with tickmark/ticklabel locator

When I create a plot that is smaller than the figure window, the tickmark=
=20
locator seems to locate the ticks based on the figure size, not the subplot=
=20
size. I tried this several ways.
figure(figsize=3D(3,3))
plot([1000,2000,3000],[1,2,3])
subplots_adjust(right=3D0.5)
This messes up the ticklabels, especially on the x-axis. It should resample=
=20
and only plot a couple of ticks, but I don't know the command to update the=
=20
ticks. The same happens when I resize with the tool on the toolbar. Almost=
=20
the same happens when I use the axes command from the get go:
figure(figsize=3D(3,3))
axes( [.1,.1,.4,.8] )
plot([1000,2000,3000],[1,2,3])
This give fine looking y labels, but the x-axis is still messed up. Does it=
=20
maybe always plot 4 ticks on each axis by default? Should it maybe check if=
=20
there is space for that?
Any suggestions are appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark

Hey Mark, this is a bug. I find the problem disappears when I force a
redraw by making a small change in figure size. Could you file a sf
bug report?
Thanks!
