Linking axes after creation

sharex/sharey link two already-existing axes – unlike plotpress.subplots(sharex=True), which only wires up a grid at creation time. Handy when the panels come from separate add_axes/add_subplot calls.

Live figure — pick a tool, then zoom, pan, point-pick or annotate. Nothing is active until a tool is selected.

fig, ((ax1, ax2), (ax3, ax4)) = plotpress.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(8, 7))
ax1.plot(x, np.sin(x) * 3, color="#1f77b4")
ax1.set_title("amplitude 3")
ax2.plot(x, np.sin(x), color="#d62728")
ax2.set_title("amplitude 1")

ax1.sharey(ax2)   # after the fact: both panels now span the same y-range

ax3.plot(x, np.sin(x), color="#1f77b4")
ax3.set_xlim(0, 10)
ax3.set_title("full range")
ax4.plot(x * 20, np.sin(x), color="#d62728")
ax4.set_title("scaled x")

ax3.sharex(ax4)   # after the fact: both panels now span the same x-range
