DataFrame.hist does not honor sharex or sharey set to True

[fonnesbeck]

Here is an example of the hist method called as a multi-panel plot via the by argument, with sharey=True and sharex=True. As you can observe in the plot at the bottom of the notebook, neither the x nor the y axis is shared among the subplots.

Running 0.11.1 on Python 2.7.2 (OS X 10.8.4).

so the issue is that using by doesn't pass the share* params. i'll see what i can do

@fonnesbeck thanks. pr coming

Sorry I did not get a chance to look at this last night. Unfortunately, though the update does cause the axes to be shared among the subplots, it seems to have introduced another bug: The histogram no longer appears in the plots. Here is the updated notebook. I have added additional plots showing that the histograms work with no sharing. When you use sharex only, nothing appears; when you use sharey only it creates incorrect y-axis limits altogether.

one issue is that the first axes is shared, so some of your data won't show up since it is outside of the range of those axes. however, there's an oddity there: why is it using those particular xaxis limits

[cpcloud]

can you confirm that this works with the data generated in pandas/tests/test_graphics.py:TestDataFrameGroupBypPlots.test_shared_axis?

is this from master? i fixed that a few commits ago. that had to with not closing plots

[fonnesbeck]

Yes:

~/Code/pandas/.git(branch:master) » more HEAD                   fonnescj@Cepeda
ref: refs/heads/master

[cpcloud]

what the sha1?

[cpcloud]

nvm i c that u have the latest since my test i there

[cpcloud]

did u run with nosetests? if not can u try that? it looks like u ran the file as an executable with python. if that's not the issue then i can reopen, as it seems like it might be mac specific

Strange. The second one should be calling assert almost equal maybe with a precision argument . I thought that was fixed by a previous commit. The first one I'm not sure but I ll look into it.
