Eric, it works if I do: return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[2:]
But not if I do as first suggested by you: return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[1:] I don't understand this behaviour. It should be [1:]. I'll just set the ticks manually. Seems to be the easiest thing. It would be awesome, if MPL had the same behaviour as gnuplot, which allows me to simply do: set xtics <start>, <incr> On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 7:09 PM, Eric Firing <efir...@hawaii.edu> wrote: > On 2015/02/14 8:45 AM, Tommy Carstensen wrote: >> >> Erik, that doesn't seem to work either.
