At least, not without removing and re-creating the axis.\r\n\r\nIn older versions of matplotlib, it was possible to do:\r\n`ax1.get_shared_x_axes().remove(ax2)`\r\nbut with the new axis grouper API, this is no longer possible ('GrouperView' object has no attribute 'remove').\r\n\r\nThere does seem to be a workaround using an internal variable:\r\n`ax1._shared_axes['x'].remove(ax2)`\r\n\r\nI would suggest that a natural way to support removing all axis sharing might be a method:\r\n\r\n`ax.set_shared_xaxis(None)`\r\n\r\nor possibly \r\n\r\n`ax.sharex(None)`\r\n\r\n\n\n### Code for reproduction\n\n```Python\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\n\r\nfig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, 1, sharex=True)\r\nax1.plot([0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3])\r\nax2.plot([0, 1, 2], [3, 2, 1])\r\n\r\nax1.set_shared_xaxis(None)\r\n\r\nplt.show()\n```\n\n\n### Actual outcome\n\nAttributeError: 'Axes' object has no attribute 'set_shared_xaxis'.\n\n### Expected outcome\n\nAxis sharing should not be enabled.\n\n### Additional information\n\n_No response_\n\n### Operating system\n\n_No response_\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\n3.8.2\n\n### Matplotlib Backend\n\n_No response_\n\n### Python version\n\n3.10.13\n\n### Jupyter version\n\n_No response_\n\n### Installation\n\nconda","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rdg-netra","@type":"Person","name":"rdg-netra"},"datePublished":"2024-06-04T21:06:59.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/28345/matplotlib/issues/28345"}
