Python Matplotlib Y-Axis ticks on Right Side of Plot

Question

I have a simple line plot and need to move the y-axis ticks from the (default) left side of the plot to the right side. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Answer 1

For right labels use ax.yaxis.set_label_position("right"), i.e.:

f = plt.figure()
ax = f.add_subplot(111)
ax.yaxis.tick_right()
ax.yaxis.set_label_position("right")
plt.plot([2,3,4,5])
ax.set_xlabel("$x$ /mm")
ax.set_ylabel("$y$ /mm")
plt.show()
