How to hide axes and gridlines in Matplotlib (python) [duplicate]

Question

I would like to be able to hide the axes and gridlines on a 3D matplotlib graph. I want to do this because when zooming in and out the image gets pretty nasty. I'm not sure what code to include here but this is what I use to create the graph.

fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.gca(projection='3d') ax.view_init(30, -90) ax.set_xlabel("X") ax.set_ylabel("Y") ax.set_zlabel("Z") plt.xlim(0,pL) plt.ylim(0,pW) ax.set_aspect("equal")  plt.show() 

This is an example of the plot that I am looking at:

Answer 1

# Hide grid lines ax.grid(False)  # Hide axes ticks ax.set_xticks([]) ax.set_yticks([]) ax.set_zticks([]) 

Note, you need matplotlib>=1.2 for set_zticks() to work.

Answer 2

Turn the axes off with:

plt.axis('off') 

And gridlines with:

plt.grid(b=None)
