Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minor_ticks() function in Python

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical ā€“ mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minor_ticks() Function

The Axis.get_minor_ticks() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the minor tick instances.
Ā 

Syntax: Axis.get_minor_ticks(self, numticks=None)Ā 

Parameters: This method accepts the following parameter.Ā 

  • numticks : This parameter is the number of ticks.

Return value: This method returns the minor tick instances.Ā 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minor_ticks() function in matplotlib.axis:

Example 1:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib functionĀ 
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.axis import AxisĀ Ā 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 
np.random.seed(19680801)
Ā Ā 
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(100*np.random.rand(20))
Ā Ā 
formatter = ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%1.2f')
Axis.set_minor_formatter(ax.yaxis, formatter)
Ā Ā 
print("Value of get_minor_ticks() :")
for tick in ax.yaxis.get_minor_ticks(2):
Ā Ā Ā Ā tick.label1.set_color('green')
Ā Ā Ā Ā print(tick)
Ā Ā 
plt.title("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minor_ticks()\n\
Function Example", fontsize = 12, fontweight ='bold')Ā 
Ā Ā 
plt.show()


Output:Ā
