My x tick labels are crossing the x-axis into the chart area and I don't want them to, an example:
Another oddity is my x axis ticks stopped showing.
I've tried:
But the above did not solve my problem. What should I try next?
Code used to create chart:
my_figure = plt.figure(**{'dpi': 100.0,
'edgecolor': 'black',
'facecolor': 'black',
'figsize': (8.0, 6.0),
'linewidth': 1.0})
ax = my_figure.add_subplot(111)
ax.bxp(**{'boxprops': {'alpha': 0.8, 'facecolor': 'C0'},
'bxpstats': [{'label': 'obs5',
'mean': 74.00224000000001,
'med': 74.004,
'q1': 73.996,
'q3': 74.009,
'whishi': 73.984,
'whislo': 74.014}],
'capprops': {'color': 'C0'},
'patch_artist': True,
'positions': [0],
'showfliers': False,
'vert': False,
'whiskerprops': {'color': 'C0'},
'widths': 0.5,
'zorder': 1.0})
ax.spines['left'].set_visible(False)
ax.spines['bottom'].set_visible(True)
ax.tick_params(axis='x', which='major', **{'bottom': False,
'color': 'white',
'direction': 'inout',
'length': 3.0,
'pad': 7.0,
'top': False,
'width': 1.0,
'zorder': 1.0})
ax.tick_params(axis='x', which='major', labelbottom=True)
ax.set_xticks(ticks=ax.get_xticks(minor=False),
labels=['73.980', '73.985', '73.990', '73.995', '74.000', '74.005', '74.010', '74.015', '74.020'],
minor=False,
**{'alpha': 1.0,
'color': 'white',
'fontfamily': 'serif',
'fontsize': 'small',
'fontstretch': 'condensed',
'fontstyle': 'oblique',
'fontvariant': 'small-caps',
'fontweight': 'light',
'horizontalalignment': 'center',
'linespacing': 2.0,
'multialignment': 'center',
'rotation': 45.0,
'snap': True,
'verticalalignment': 'center'})
ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(plt.NullFormatter())
plt.show()
Two things to change:
You currently set bottom=False
in the first call to ax.tick_params
. Setting that to True
allows the ticks to be displayed on the x-axis.
To change the vertical alignment of the labels, set verticalalignment='top'
in the call to ax.set_xticks
. You currently have that set to center
.
