Here is my code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from scipy.cluster import hierarchy as hier
df = pd.read_excel('some_symmetricmatrix.xlsx')
Z = hier.linkage(df, 'ward')
hier.set_link_color_palette(['#d95f02','#7570b3'])
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(3, 6))
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax.set_xlabel('Distance')
den = hier.dendrogram(
Z,
leaf_font_size=10.,
orientation = 'left',
above_threshold_color= '#1b9e77'
)
ax.tick_params(axis='x',top='off')
plt.savefig('somedendrogram.png', bbox_inches='tight', transparent = True, dpi = 300)
plt.close()
This give me an image like this:
I would like to remove the borders (or axes) of the dendrogram, but I would like to keep the ticks and the labels. I've already tried 2 methods from the net:
1. add ax.axis('off') to the code
2. use this piece of code to turn the visibility of the axes off.
Both of these give this:
I tried to Google this, but I couldn't find anything. I hope you can help me. :)
