How to change the spacing between ticks in Matplotlib?

To set ticks on a fixed position or change the spacing between ticks in matplotlib, we can take the following steps −

• Create a figure and add a set of subplots.

• To set the ticks on a fixed position, create two lists with some values.

• Use set_yticks and set_xticks methods to set the ticks on the axes.

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

Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True fig, ax = plt.subplots() xtick_loc = [0.20, 0.75, 0.30] ytick_loc = [0.12, 0.80, 0.76] ax.set_xticks(xtick_loc) ax.set_yticks(ytick_loc) plt.show()
