Matthias, Thanks for answering. I already solved my problem. I found that there is no function to display on grids the value of the axis (bad when you need to display lat, longitude)... so I made it myself using the text() function and using yticks() and xticks() along with all the formatting properties, all inside of the text function... Its pretty nice now, Angelica. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-display-axis-numbers-inside-the-figure-area-tp26578109p26634238.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
