matplotlib border width
You want to adjust the border line size? You need to use ax.spines[side].set_linewidth(size).
So something like:
[i.set_linewidth(0.1) for i in ax.spines.itervalues()]
Maybe this is what you are looking for?
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['axes.linewidth'] = 0.1 #set the value globally
This worked for me [x.set_linewidth(1.5) for x in ax.spines.values()]
