When creating a parasite object matplotlib creates two spines, and if one need to make it invisible by toggling one of them, the only time that it's possible is just after the creation of the parasite axis. If the user try to do it after calling new_fixed_axis the extra spine cannot be removed. For example the code below cannot remove the top extra spine.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA
import numpy as np
host = host_subplot(111,axes_class=AA.Axes)
plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15)
host.plot(10,10)
nfa = host.get_grid_helper().new_fixed_axis
par1 = host.twiny()
par1.axis['bottom'] = nfa(loc='bottom',axes=par1,offset=(0,-20))
par1.spine['top'].toggle(all=False)While this works:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import host_subplot
import mpl_toolkits.axisartist as AA
import numpy as np
host = host_subplot(111,axes_class=AA.Axes)
plt.subplots_adjust(bottom=0.15)
host.plot(10,10)
nfa = host.get_grid_helper().new_fixed_axis
par1 = host.twiny()
par1.spine['top'].toggle(all=False)
par1.axis['bottom'] = nfa(loc='bottom',axes=par1,offset=(0,-20))I would not expect that the toggle would work only just after creation of the parasite.
