Thanks again Ryan. That's exactly what I want to achieve; i.e. remove the tick at 0 and only keep 5 and 10. Your solution works, but it's a bit of hack to use magic constants. I could however get those values from the xlim.
Eric, I would describe the desired tick placement algorithm as removing the first tick on the axis. It can be achieved like this: ax1.xaxis.set_major_locator(MaxNLocator(prune='lower')) But that then overrides this: ax1.xaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(5)) On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 5:27 PM, Ryan Nelson <rnelsonc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Tommy, (Sorry for the doubleup.
