I have a semilogx plot and I would like to remove the xticks. I tried:
plt.gca().set_xticks([]) plt.xticks([]) ax.set_xticks([])
The grid disappears (ok), but small ticks (at the place of the main ticks) remain. How to remove them?
To remove the ticks on both the x-axis and y-axis simultaneously, we can pass both left and right attributes simultaneously setting its value to False and pass it as a parameter inside the tick_params() function. It removes the ticks on both x-axis and the y-axis simultaneously.
The plt.tick_params
method is very useful for stuff like this. This code turns off major and minor ticks and removes the labels from the x-axis.
Note that there is also ax.tick_params
for matplotlib.axes.Axes
objects.
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.plot(range(10)) plt.tick_params( axis='x', # changes apply to the x-axis which='both', # both major and minor ticks are affected bottom=False, # ticks along the bottom edge are off top=False, # ticks along the top edge are off labelbottom=False) # labels along the bottom edge are off plt.show() plt.savefig('plot') plt.clf()
Not exactly what the OP was asking for, but a simple way to disable all axes lines, ticks and labels is to simply call:
plt.axis('off')
