It's just the default behavior. Please see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.ticker.html#LinearLocator or simply query the documentation of LinearLocator in ipython: | Constructor information: | Definition: LinearLocator(self, numticks=None, presets=None) | Docstring: | Use presets to set locs based on lom. A dict mapping vmin, vmax->locs The docstring is kind of cryptic (what's a lom?) but the numticks keyword argument hints that you can set the number of ticks, e.g. gca().yaxis.set_major_locator(LinearLocator(numticks=4)) But, as John said, if you already know where you want the ticks, you can just set them directly. -- Jouni K.
