Change grid interval and specify tick labels in Matplotlib
Using plt.figure() method, we can create a figure and thereafter, we can create an axis. Using set_xticks and set_yticks, we can change the ticks format and ax.grid could help to specify the grid interval.
Steps
Create a new figure, or activate an existing figure, using fig = plt.figure() method.
Add an `~.axes.Axes` to the figure as part of a subplot arrangement, where nrow = 1, ncols = 1 and index = 1.
Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the X-axis.
Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the X-axis. With minor = True, Grid.
Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the Y-axis.
Get or set the current tick locations and labels of the Y-axis. With minor = True, Grid.
Lay out a grid in current line style, using grid() method.
To show the figure we can use the plt.show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1) major_tick = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] minor_tick = [5, 15, 25, 35, 45] ax.set_xticks(major_tick) # Grid ax.set_xticks(minor_tick, minor=True) ax.set_yticks(major_tick) # Grid ax.set_yticks(minor_tick, minor=True) ax.grid(which='both') ax.grid(which='minor', alpha=1) ax.grid(which='major', alpha=2) plt.show()
