Matplotlib is geared around MATLAB style plotting so the axes are around the outside of the plot. I've never found a way to have the ticks along axes in the middle of the plot. None of the gallery examples do that. However, pyx can do what you're looking for. Personally, I prefer the MATLAB style for most plots since it keeps the numbers from being in the way of the plot. For the other times, I use pyx. Plus, it has nice LaTeX support. So, one possibility is to have a small wrapper around the plotting with a choice of drivers, pyx vs. matplotlib and choosing to have numbering through the plot forces the pyx driver. Thoughts?
