如何在 matplotlib 的第一个 x 轴的底部添加第二个 x 轴。？

Question

我指的是已经问过的问题here。
在这个例子中，用户解决了第二个轴的问题，方法是将它添加到图表的上部，它与标题重合。

问题： 是否可以在第一个 x 轴的底部添加第二个 x 轴？

代码：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twiny()

X = np.linspace(0,1,1000)
Y = np.cos(X*20)

ax1.plot(X,Y)
ax1.set_xlabel(r"Original x-axis: $X$")

new_tick_locations = np.array([.2, .5, .9])

def tick_function(X):
    V = 1/(1+X)
    return ["%.3f" % z for z in V]

ax2.set_xticks(new_tick_locations)
ax2.set_xticklabels(tick_function(new_tick_locations))
ax2.set_xlabel(r"Modified x-axis: $1/(1+X)$")
plt.show()

Answer 1

作为@DizietAsahi 答案的替代方案，您可以使用spines，其方式与matplotlib 发布的here 示例类似。

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twiny()

# Add some extra space for the second axis at the bottom
fig.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.2)

X = np.linspace(0,1,1000)
Y = np.cos(X*20)

ax1.plot(X,Y)
ax1.set_xlabel(r"Original x-axis: $X$")

new_tick_locations = np.array([.2, .5, .9])

def tick_function(X):
    V = 1/(1+X)
    return ["%.3f" % z for z in V]

# Move twinned axis ticks and label from top to bottom
ax2.xaxis.set_ticks_position("bottom")
ax2.xaxis.set_label_position("bottom")

# Offset the twin axis below the host
ax2.spines["bottom"].set_position(("axes", -0.15))

# Turn on the frame for the twin axis, but then hide all 
# but the bottom spine
ax2.set_frame_on(True)
ax2.patch.set_visible(False)

# as @ali14 pointed out, for python3, use this
# for sp in ax2.spines.values():
# and for python2, use this
for sp in ax2.spines.itervalues():
    sp.set_visible(False)
ax2.spines["bottom"].set_visible(True)

ax2.set_xticks(new_tick_locations)
ax2.set_xticklabels(tick_function(new_tick_locations))
ax2.set_xlabel(r"Modified x-axis: $1/(1+X)$")
plt.show()

Answer 2

我认为您必须创建第二个高度为 0 的 Axes（并隐藏 yaxis）才能拥有第二个 xaxis，您可以将其放置在您喜欢的任何位置。

例如：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_axes((0.1,0.3,0.8,0.6)) # create an Axes with some room below

X = np.linspace(0,1,1000)
Y = np.cos(X*20)

ax1.plot(X,Y)
ax1.set_xlabel(r"Original x-axis: $X$")


# create second Axes. Note the 0.0 height
ax2 = fig.add_axes((0.1,0.1,0.8,0.0))
ax2.yaxis.set_visible(False) # hide the yaxis

new_tick_locations = np.array([.2, .5, .9])

def tick_function(X):
    V = 1/(1+X)
    return ["%.3f" % z for z in V]

ax2.set_xticks(new_tick_locations)
ax2.set_xticklabels(tick_function(new_tick_locations))
ax2.set_xlabel(r"Modified x-axis: $1/(1+X)$")
plt.show()
