Bug summary
Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is a bug or just how the spines function (https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/spines_api.html) is supposed to work. Basically, if I set the spines command "after" the tick_params specs, the "labelrotation" commands is not followed but everything else is. Any suggestions? Seems kind of weird that only some of the tick_params are executed and not others. Thank you!
Key aspect of code below:
#ax1.spines["top"].set_position(("axes", 1.05))
ax1.tick_params(axis='x', colors="green", grid_color='g',labelsize='small', labelrotation = 45)
#ax1.spines["top"].set_position(("axes", 1.05))
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker
import numpy as np
X = np.arange(100)
Y = X**2+3
fig1, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.subplots_adjust(top=0.9)
ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((1,2), (0,0), rowspan=1, colspan = 1) # Track 1
ax2 = plt.subplot2grid((1,2), (0,1), rowspan=1, colspan = 1, sharey = ax1) # Track 2
ax11 = ax1.twiny()
ax11.xaxis.set_visible(False)
ax12 = ax2.twiny()
ax12.xaxis.set_visible(False)
ax1.plot(X,Y)
ax1.set_xlabel("X",fontsize='small')
ax1.set_ylabel("Y")
#ax1.spines["top"].set_position(("axes", 1.05))
ax1.tick_params(axis='x', colors="green", grid_color='g',labelsize='small', labelrotation = 45)
#ax1.spines["top"].set_position(("axes", 1.05))
ax1.set_ylim(max(Y), min(Y))
ax2.plot(X,Y)
ax2.set_xlabel("X",fontsize='small')
ax2.set_ylabel("Y")
ax2.tick_params(axis='x', colors="green", grid_color='g',labelsize='small', labelrotation = 45)
ax2.set_ylim(max(Y), min(Y))
ax2.yaxis.set_label_position("right")
ax2.yaxis.tick_right()
for ax in [ax1, ax2]:
#ax.spines["top"].set_position(("axes", 1.05))
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position("top")
ax.xaxis.set_label_position("top")
ax.grid(b = True, which='both', axis = 'both', color='gainsboro',
linestyle='-')
#ax.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation = 45)
plt.tight_layout()
fig1.subplots_adjust(wspace = 0.15)Actual outcome
See code above.
Expected outcome
I would expect the labels to be rotated regardless of where the spine command is placed.
