How to move the Y-axis ticks from the left side of the plot to the right side in matplotlib?

To shift the Y-axis ticks from left to right, we can perform the following steps −

• Create a figure using the figure() method.

• Using the above figure method, create the axis of the plot, using add_subplot(xyz), where x is row, y is column, and z is index.

• To shift the Y-axis ticks from left to right, use ax.yaxis.tick_right() where ax is axis created using add_subplot(xyz) method.

• Now plot the line using plot() method, with given x and y points, where x and y points can be created using np.array() method.

• Set up x and y labels, e.g., X-axis and Y-axis , using xlabel and ylabel methods.

• Use plt.show() to show the figure.

Example

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt import numpy as np f = plt.figure() ax = f.add_subplot(111) ax.yaxis.tick_right() xpoints = np.array([0, 5]) ypoints = np.array([0, 5]) plt.plot(xpoints, ypoints) plt.ylabel("Y-axis ") plt.xlabel("X-axis ") plt.show()
