add more labels to the x axis python matplotlib [closed]

Question

this is my original graph:

I didn't change the xticklabels or anything, I only did plot(x,y), the labels are automatically generated according to the x values.

However I want to change the x label to [0,24,48,72....480,504]

This is what I did

ax.plot(x1,y1)

xlabel =[]
xinterval = np.arange(0,504,24) 
ax.set_xticks=(xinterval)
ax.set_xticklabels(xinterval)

And the result is:

which is obviously wrong, could anyone help?

Answer 1

You have a typo; it's supposed to be ax.set_xticks(xinterval), without the =.

No need for the set_xticklabels command.
