[Matplotlib-users] reduce the number of ticks
Hi, In order to get a plot with a small number of ticks, it is possible to create a matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator object with a small value for `nbins`. However, I found it also possible to modify the existing AutoLocator instances, since AutoLocator derives from MaxNLocator : ax.xaxis.major.locator.set_params(nbins=5) ax.yaxis.major.locator.set_params(nbins=5) (the default nbins value seems to be 9) The advantage of this inplace solution is that it doesn't any importing/browsing in the mpl namespace. However, it's still a bit long. I was then wondering : 1) is this solution recommended or not ? 2) is there a shortcup to avoird the five dots ? best, Pierre attachment: pierre_haessig.vcf signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Android apps run on BlackBerry 10 Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.

Thanks a lot! I guess it would be nice to add a back reference to this method in http://matplotlib.org/api/ticker_api.html best, Pierre attachment: pierre_haessig.vcf signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
