File Purpose: misc tricks related to plotting

stuff that’s sometimes easy to forget, but super useful if you remember it.

Functions

ax_aspect(ax)
ax_outline([ax, color, linewidth])	draw a box around the axes
ax_remove_ticklabels([ax])	remove ticklabels from the axes (but don't remove ticks)!
ax_remove_ticks([ax])	remove ticks from the axes!
fig_outline([fig, color, linewidth])	draw a box around the figure
get_colorbar_axes([fig])	return list of all colorbar axes on the figure (current figure if fig is None).
get_min_n_ticks([ax])	get the minimum number of ticks on this axes (current axes if None provided).
plot_locations([margin])	dict of xy=(x,y) in axes coordinates (0=left/bottom, 1=right/top) for various locations;
plot_note(note[, loc, margin, ax, xy])	add this note to the current plot at the indicated position.
plt_transformer([xy, ax])	simple result useful for 'transform' kwarg for plotting functions.
set_min_n_ticks(n[, ax, fail_ok])	set the minimum number of ticks on this axes (current axes if None provided).
use_simple_log_tick_locator([ax, x, base])	tell log-scaled axes of ax to use SimpleLogTickLocator.
use_simple_ticks_renamer(x, f[, ax])	simple tick formatter, changes tick names from val to f(val).

Classes
