Notes
Calling this function with no arguments (e.g.
xticks()
) is the pyplot equivalent of callingget_xticks
andget_xticklabels
on the current axes. Calling this function with arguments is the pyplot equivalent of callingset_xticks
andset_xticklabels
on the current axes.Examples
Get the current locations and labels:
>>> locs, labels = xticks()
Set label locations:
>>> xticks(np.arange(0, 1, step=0.2))
Set text labels:
>>> xticks(np.arange(5), ('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry', 'Sally', 'Sue'))
Set text labels and properties:
>>> xticks(np.arange(12), calendar.month_name[1:13], rotation=20)
Disable xticks:
>>> xticks([])
