To remove the axis tick marks on a Seaborn heatmap, we can take the following steps

  • Create random data points with 4×4 dimension.

  • Plot the rectangular data as a color-encoded matrix.

  • Use tick_params() for changing the appearance of ticks and tick labels. Use left=false and bottom=false to remove the tick marks.

  • To display the figure, use Show() method.

Example

import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
