matplotlib.axes.Axes.locator_params
-
Axes.locator_params(axis='both', tight=None, **kwargs)
-
Control behavior of tick locators.
Parameters: |
-
axis : {'both', 'x', 'y'}, optional -
The axis on which to operate. -
tight : bool or None, optional -
Parameter passed to autoscale_view() . Default is None, for no change. |
Other Parameters: |
- **kw :
-
Remaining keyword arguments are passed to directly to the set_params() method. - Typically one might want to reduce the maximum number
- of ticks and use tight bounds when plotting small
- subplots, for example::
-
ax.locator_params(tight=True, nbins=4) - Because the locator is involved in autoscaling,
- :meth:`autoscale_view` is called automatically after
- the parameters are changed.
- This presently works only for the
- :class:`~matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator` used
- by default on linear axes, but it may be generalized.
