[FIXED] matplotlib, ticks are overlapped when hspace=0

Issue

When pushing two plots together, I'd like to have the the ticks set to 'inout' and have it properly displayed over both the charts, but the 2nd chart is overlapping it.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

t = np.arange(0.01, 5.0, 0.01)
s1 = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
s2 = np.exp(-t)

ax1 = plt.subplot(211)
plt.plot(t, s1)
plt.tick_params('x', labelbottom=False, direction='inout', length=6)

ax2 = plt.subplot(212, sharex=ax1)
plt.plot(t, s2)

plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)

plt.show()

We can adjust the hspace and see that they're there, but just getting covered.

I've tried changing the z-order, but that didn't work.

plt.tick_params('x', labelbottom=False, direction='inout', length=6, zorder=100)

Solution

IIUC, you can create ax2 before ax1:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

t = np.arange(0.01, 5.0, 0.01)
s1 = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)
s2 = np.exp(-t)

ax2 = plt.subplot(212)
plt.plot(t, s2)

ax1 = plt.subplot(211, sharex=ax2)
plt.plot(t, s1)
plt.tick_params('x', labelbottom=False, direction='inout', length=6)

plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)

plt.show()

Output:
