Repeating x axis labels for all facets using FacetGrid in seaborn

Question

I am working with the FacetGrid example presented here that results in the plot below. In my data set, there is quite a lot of plots, and it would be convenient to have the x axis labels repeated for each facet, not only at the bottom.

For this example, the values 62, ..., 76 should be repeated for each of the A-J facets.

The answer by Bazingaa works for matplotlib version 2.0.2. For newer versions of matplotlib, using ax.tick_params() and setting labelbottom=True seems to work:

for ax in g.axes.flatten():
    ax.tick_params(labelbottom=True)

Just add the following lines after your def label(): function. Although the plot doesn't look that good with the modification you want.

for ax in g.axes.flat:
    _ = plt.setp(ax.get_xticklabels(), visible=True)

Output

What doesn't work for you? Could you provide the error you encounter? I just used the example link you gave and added the above lines – Sheldore Sep 05 '18 at 11:35
I do not get an error, but the labels are not showed. I am using seaborn 0.9.0 – Krzysztof Słowiński Sep 05 '18 at 11:36
I am using `0.9.0` too and `matplotlib` version is `2.0.2` – Sheldore Sep 05 '18 at 11:38

This is a matplotlib issue I think. Your solution works for matplotlib 2.0.2, but does not for 2.2.3 – DavidG Sep 05 '18 at 11:49
Yes, I think so too. I will try it with a higher version and update my answer – Sheldore Sep 05 '18 at 11:57
