Disabling y-axes in 2-D plot

Hi all,

is it possible to switch of the y-axes seperately in a 2-D plot? The intuitive way

plot(exp,axes=[True,False])

is the very same as

plot(exp,axes=True)

Greetings, Markus

In matplotlib you can use for example the link

In Sage you can use a workaround:

p=plot(sin,ticks=[0.2,[]],thickness=3,zorder=20) 
p+=arrow((-1,0),(1,0),ticks=[0.2,[]],color='black',zorder=10)
p.axes_color('white')  
p.show()

The problem seems to be that I already have a very complicated plot, so I cannot apply matplotlib methods to that (at least I wouldnt know how).

The workaround you mentioned would be enough for me, but actually it doesnt work, because the white x-axes partly lies over the horizontal arrow and the y-axes lies over parts of the plot :/

I really thought that disabling axis seperately is a standard feature. Maybe I switch back to another CAS for this special plot :(

Thanks anyway for your answer.

Change the zorder of your plot. Look at the difference between plot(0) plot(0, zorder=20) The second one draws the plot above the axes.

O.K. I did.
