Missing X and Y axis when plotting using python

Question

I having some issue replicating the example code for scatter plots in python. The code I am trying to replicate:

x = np.random.rand(10)
y = np.random.rand(10)
z = np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2)

plt.subplot(321)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker=">")

plt.subplot(322)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker=(5, 0))

verts = list(zip([-1., 1., 1., -1.], [-1., -1., 1., -1.]))
plt.subplot(323)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker=(verts, 0))
# equivalent:
#plt.scatter(x,y,s=80, c=z, marker=None, verts=verts)

plt.subplot(324)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker=(5, 1))

plt.subplot(325)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker='+')

plt.subplot(326)
plt.scatter(x, y, s=80, c=z, marker=(5, 2))

plt.show()

What I am expecting:

But this is what I am getting:

I can get the background to white by:

ax = plt.gca()
ax.set_axis_bgcolor('white')

But I can not get to display X and Y axis. I have tried many solutions from other stackoverflow posts but none of them seems to be working.

Could someone please help me solve this issue?

It seems that you are using ggplot style. You can change the default style:

pl.style.use("ggplot")
pl.rcParams['axes.edgecolor'] = "#777777"
pl.rcParams['axes.facecolor'] = '#FFFFFF'

Here is the result:

Thanks to @HYRY's solution.

Some more references about style sheets in matplotlib for beginners like me:
