If this is a bug report, please use the template provided below. If this is a feature request, you can delete the template text (just try to be descriptive with your request). --\u003e\r\n\r\n### Description\r\n\r\nI often have the issue where the axes are not shared, but I do want to share the labels. For example when I am mixing some axes and not others. I propose to add a feature where you can specify the sharing of the axis. As far as I am aware this is not available in proplot. Currently I resort to something like\r\n\r\n```python\r\n\r\ndef add_main(fig, nrows, ncols, span):\r\n main = fig.add_subplot(nrows, ncols, span)\r\n main.set_facecolor(\"none\")\r\n main.set_xticks([])\r\n main.set_yticks([])\r\n for spine in main.axes.spines.values():\r\n     spine.set_visible(False)\r\n return main\r\n\r\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(ncols = 2, nrows = 2, share = 0)\r\nmain_top = add_main(fig, 2, 2, (1, 2))\r\nmain_top.set_xlabel(\"group 1\", labelpad = 25)\r\nmain_top.set_ylabel(\"group 1\", labelpad = 25)\r\n\r\n\r\nmain_bottom = add_main(fig, 2, 2, (3, 4))\r\nmain_bottom.set_xlabel(\"group 2\", labelpad = 25)\r\nmain_bottom.set_ylabel(\"group 2\", labelpad = 25)\r\n\r\nfig.show()\r\n\r\n```\r\n\r\nResulting in \r\n![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4f860541-bf45-4acf-9727-7aceba16fa57)\r\n\r\n\r\nSome of it can be achieved with `fig` labels. If this can already be achieved, we could add it to the docs, if not we can add it.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/cvanelteren","@type":"Person","name":"cvanelteren"},"datePublished":"2024-08-26T08:42:11.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/464/proplot/issues/464"}
