[Matplotlib-devel] Fwd: Re: [matplotlib-devel] update x axis of a subplot according to the y axis of another one in python/matplotlib

Forwarded from the old mailing list

Hello Benjamin,
last weekend (after more than a year... :-[ ) I found some spare time to 
refactor a bit the solution I implemented to solve the axis synchronisation.
I have answered my own question on stackoverflow 
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28239054/update-the-x-axis-of-a-matplotlib-subplot-according-to-the-y-axis-of-a-different/37265661#37265661)
and I have shared on github 
(https://github.com/apbard/OrthogonalProjection) a simple class that 
allows to easily make orthogonal projections plots with full axis 
synchronisation and support for different basic plot types.
Thanks again for the hint and sorry for the delay...

Alessandro
