My problem is that in the plot generated by code above the axis of the figure and the sublpots seem to overlap (see red rectangles in picture). I tried to turn off the axes in the figure. However, I was not able to figure it out.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

回答1:

If you want to remove the axes completely, you should try:

plt.axis('off')

If that doesn't work (or doesn't do what you want it to), try:

cur_axes = plt.gca()
cur_axes.axes.get_xaxis().set_visible(False)
cur_axes.axes.get_yaxis().set_visible(False)
