incorrect position of ylabel

[Yefee]

Description

When having 2 axes, the ylabel of top panel appears in the middle of the left figure.

Steps to reproduce

hydl = np.sin(2*np.arange(0, 60, 0.1))
vwsdl = np.cos(2*np.arange(0, 60, 0.1))

fig, axs = pplt.subplots(ncols=1, nrows=2)
axs[0].plot(hydl)
axs[1].plot(vwsdl)
axs[0].format(title='AA', titleweight='bold', ylabel='CC')
axs[1].format(title='BB', titleweight='bold', ylabel='DD')

Expected behavior: CC appears at the left of top panel DDappears at the left of bottom panel

Actual behavior: CC appears in the middle

Equivalent steps in matplotlib

Please try to make sure this bug is related to a proplot-specific feature. If you're not sure, try to replicate it with the native matplotlib API. Matplotlib bugs belong on the matplotlib github page.

# your code here, if applicable
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, axs = plt.subplots(ncols=1, nrows=2)
axs[0].plot(hydl)
axs[0].set_ylim([-1.6, 1.6])
axs[1].plot(vwsdl)
axs[1].set_ylim([-2, 2])
axs[0].set_ylabel('CC')
axs[1].set_ylabel('DD')

Proplot version

import matplotlib; print(matplotlib.version); import proplot; print(proplot.version) 3.4.3 0.9.5

This is actually the behavior expected from the proplot side, though I agree that it is a bit counter-intuitive. When initializing the figure, you may add "sharey=False" to disable the label sharing:

fig, axs = pplt.subplots(ncols=1, nrows=2, sharey=False)

It should fix your problem.

Good to know! Thanks!

Thanks for the help @syrte. You're right this is counterintuitive -- I'll consider disabling share and span in the next version by default... or maybe even try to automatically detect whether users want shared labels depending on whether they separately apply labels to individual axes (as in your example) or make single axs.format(xlabel='label') calls.
