Mplfinance: Is it possible to remove Y axis price data?

[kitt-th]

Greets,
1st, thanks for this library - it's awesome and I love it.

I have a perhaps a leftfield question in the opposite direction of most.

I'd like to remove the numerical price data on the Y axis of the main plot and subplot windows - is that possible?
My desired plot is simply the candles and other TA indicators without any price or indicator numerical data whatsoever.
I've looked through the documentation and couldn't find that.

Thanks.

Not 100% sure what you are getting at, but it sounds like you want something like this: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26544399/76427422-909db200-63ac-11ea-89d4-db9cc32dc00e.png

If so, you should be able to do this with axisoff=True. See Issue #48 for more details.

yes, that's the problem I had - thanks!

hi, axisoff=True removes axis completely, also vertical grid lines I'm interested in. Some way to draw these vertical grid dashed lines, for example for every week separator?

This is not directly supported in mplfinance (nor do I expect it to be). You can do this yourself directly through Matplotlib by gaining access to the Figure and Axes objects used by mplfinance. There are two ways to gain this access: as described here.

Alternatively, I think this can also be done through Matplotlib's rcparams settings. First read about Mplfinance styles here. Then, when calling mpf.make_mpf_style(), use kwarg rc= to set whatever matplotlib rcparms you want . (Note also: at the bottom of the mplfinance styles notebook there is a table of all possible kwargs to make_mpf_style()

HTH. Please keep me posted and let me know if ou have any further questions. Thanks.
