- geocat.viz.util.set_tick_direction_spine_visibility(ax, tick_direction='out', top_spine_visible=True, bottom_spine_visible=True, left_spine_visible=True, right_spine_visible=True)#
Utility function to turn off axes spines and set tickmark orientations.
Note: This function should be called after calling add_major_minor_ticks()
- Parameters:
ax (
matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot
,cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxesSubplot
) – Current axes to the current figuretick_direction (
str
) – Tick direction. Accepted alias:in: to put ticks inside the axes
out: to put ticks outside the axes
inout: to put ticks both in and out of the axes
top_spine_visible (
bool
) – Set False to turn off top spine of the axes.bottom_spine_visible (
bool
) – Set False to turn off bottom spine of the axes.left_spine_visible (
bool
) – Set False to turn off left spine of the axes.right_spine_visible (
bool
) – Set False to turn off right spine.
