Hidden axes no longer hidden with 0.5.2

Community Support

Armen_AlexanianAug 16, 2014 #1

Hi,

Previously, the below statements would hide my axes lines and ticks, but now with the new 0.5.2, they aren’t hidden.

axis().axis_line_color = None

xaxis().major_label_text_color = None

axis().major_tick_line_color = None

Is there a new way to hide them?

Thanks very much!

Armen,

Very sorry, introduced a change in 0.5.2 that broke xaxis() and yaxis(). I am going to push a fix with a test this morning, and we will get a new release or replacement of some sort out soon. In the mean time, if you can replace the functions in bokeh/plotting.py with these you should be good to go.

def xaxis():
""" Get the current axis objects

    Returns:
        Returns axis object or splattable list of axis objects on the current plot
    """
    p = curplot()
    if p is None:
        return None
    axis = [obj for obj in p.above + p.below if isinstance(obj, Axis)]
    return _list_attr_splat(axis)

def yaxis():
""" Get the current `y` axis object(s)

    Returns:
        Returns y-axis object or splattable list of y-axis objects on the current plot
    """
    p = curplot()
    if p is None:
        return None
    axis = [obj for obj in p.left + p.right if isinstance(obj, Axis)]
    return _list_attr_splat(axis)

this appears to be happening again in 0.6.1

xaxis().major_tick_line_color=None

produces no effect (nor when switched to colors vs None)

however:

axis().axis_line_color=None

does work, so think my code is right.

Hey Henry,

I did a a little experimentation on master, and I think I might know what is happening. There is no code to remove minor ticks that happen to coincide with major ticks. It's maybe a reasonable thing to do, or at least provide an option for. But try this: set major_tick_line_color to "red" or something, you will probably see a red bit of a major tick sticking out behind a small minor tick. And then if you set it to None, it's actually just the minor tick that remains. This is the behaviour I observed on master, anyway.

Unfortunately, none of the minor tick properties are exposed on the python side! This is an easy fix, and an oversight, I will submit a PR today, and it should be in the next dev build and the 0.7 release next month.

BTW, if you want an immediate solution you can try adding these lines to the "Axis" class in bokeh/objects.py:

    minor_tick_props = Include(LineProps)
    minor_tick_in = Int
    minor_tick_out = Int

And then you ought to be able to style minor ticks as well. I just tried setting both major and minor tick colors to None and saw no ticks at all, as expected. Here is the PR, also:

allow minor ticks to be styled by bryevdv · Pull Request #1361 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub
