Matplotlib多个网格zorder无法使用错误栏

Question

我正在处理matplotlib的一些奇怪行为，当将具有不同y轴的多个错误栏绘制到一个子图中时。

执行此操作时，与第二个错误栏图对应的网格始终与第一个错误栏图重叠。使用zorder选项，我只能将其他网格移动到错误栏下方。

我希望两个网格都低于两个错误栏。 有没有人知道这个解决方案，或者这是matplotlib中的一个错误？

我正在使用Python 2.7.12和matplotlib 1.5.1。

最小的工作示例：

import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.colors as colors

# numbers of epochs
ttimes_means_list = [251.4, 153.3, 22.0, 202.1, 46.6]
ttimes_stddevs_list = [32.1, 35.1, 12.0, 84.9, 14.7]
# numbers of times
times_means_list = [5231, 3167, 860, 3932, 1244]
times_stddevs_list = [1381, 572, 253, 1445, 215]

labels = ['x1', 'x2', 'x3', 'x4', 'x5']
linewidth=3

xvalues = np.arange(0, len(times_means_list), 1)
xvalues_s = xvalues + 0.1

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax1.set_ylabel('Number')
ax1.xaxis.grid(False)
ax1.yaxis.grid(True, color='navy', linewidth=linewidth/2.0)
ax2.xaxis.grid(False)
ax1.set_zorder(0)
ax2.set_zorder(0)
ax2.yaxis.grid(True, color='darkorange', linewidth=linewidth/2.0)
ax2.set_ylabel('Time')
ax1.set_xticks(xvalues)
ax2.set_xticks(xvalues)
ax1.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax2.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax1.set_xlabel('x label')
errplot1 = ax1.errorbar(xvalues, ttimes_means_list, yerr=ttimes_stddevs_list,
        linestyle="None", elinewidth=linewidth, color='navy', label='Number',
        capthick=linewidth, zorder=10)
errplot2 = ax2.errorbar(xvalues_s, times_means_list, yerr=times_stddevs_list, 
        linestyle="None", elinewidth=linewidth, color='darkorange',
        label='Time', capthick=linewidth, zorder=10)
ax1.set_axisbelow(True)
ax2.set_axisbelow(True)
fig.legend((errplot1, errplot2), ('number', 'time'), 
        loc='upper right', numpoints=1)
plt.xlim(-0.5, len(times_means_list)-0.5)
plt.title('Some plot title')
plt.savefig('mwe_plot.pdf')
plt.clf()

也许你可以画海军＆＃39;两次。

import numpy as np
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.colors as colors

# numbers of epochs
ttimes_means_list = [251.4, 153.3, 22.0, 202.1, 46.6]
ttimes_stddevs_list = [32.1, 35.1, 12.0, 84.9, 14.7]
# numbers of times
times_means_list = [5231, 3167, 860, 3932, 1244]
times_stddevs_list = [1381, 572, 253, 1445, 215]

labels = ['x1', 'x2', 'x3', 'x4', 'x5']
linewidth=3

xvalues = np.arange(0, len(times_means_list), 1)
xvalues_s = xvalues + 0.1

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()
ax1.set_ylabel('Number')
ax1.xaxis.grid(False)
g1 = ax1.yaxis.grid(True, color='navy', linewidth=linewidth/2.0)
ax2.xaxis.grid(False)
ax1.set_zorder(0)
ax2.set_zorder(0)
g2 = ax2.yaxis.grid(True, color='darkorange', linewidth=linewidth/2.0)
ax2.set_ylabel('Time')
ax1.set_xticks(xvalues)
ax2.set_xticks(xvalues)
ax1.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax2.set_xticklabels(labels)
ax1.set_xlabel('x label')
ax1.errorbar(xvalues, ttimes_means_list, yerr=ttimes_stddevs_list,
        linestyle="None", elinewidth=1, color='navy', label='Number',
        capthick=1, zorder=10,)
errplot2 = ax2.errorbar(xvalues_s, times_means_list, yerr=times_stddevs_list, 
        linestyle="None", elinewidth=linewidth, color='darkorange',
        label='Time', capthick=linewidth, zorder=10)
ax1.set_axisbelow(True)
ax2.set_axisbelow(True)

# draw the 'navy' line again
ax3 = ax1.twinx()
ax3.yaxis.grid(False)
errplot1 = ax3.errorbar(xvalues, ttimes_means_list, yerr=ttimes_stddevs_list,
        linestyle="None", elinewidth=linewidth, color='navy', label='Number',
        capthick=linewidth, zorder=10)

fig.legend((errplot1, errplot2), ('number', 'time'), 
        loc='upper right', numpoints=1)
plt.xlim(-0.5, len(times_means_list)-0.5)
plt.title('Some plot title')
# plt.savefig('mwe_plot.pdf')
# plt.clf()

plt.show()

你会得到：
