Suppose we have the following graph:
x = np.linspace(0, 3, 1000)plt.plot(x, x)plt.show()
This produces the following:
Our goal is to remove the 2nd and 4th tick (i.e. ticks with label 0.5 and 1.5):
x = np.linspace(0, 3, 1000)
# Get axis to the ticks via the current axisax = plt.gca()xticks = ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks()xticks[2].set_visible(False)xticks[4].set_visible(False)
plt.plot(x, x)plt.show()
This produces the following:
We see that the 2nd and 4th ticks have been removed!
