Thread: [Matplotlib-users] pls help: error using set(gca(),...)

Hi.

I run these codes in ipython command line interface.

from pylab import *
subplot(211)
plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])
set(gca(), xtickslabel = [])

and got the error saying "Type error: set() does not take keyword arguments"
My OS is windows XP. The code I used is copied from matplotlib tutorial. 
Pls help explain why it didnt work.

Thanks.
Sam

needs to be 
setp(gca(), xticklabels = [])

"set" is a python built-in (the mathematical set) and matplotlib now
uses "setp" (for set property) instead.
