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

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – 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_tick_space() Function

The Axis.get_tick_space() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get the estimated number of ticks that can fit on the axis. 

Syntax: Axis.get_tick_space(self) 
 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters. 
 

Return value: This method return the estimated number of ticks that can fit on the axis. 

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

Example 1:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
import numpy as np 
      
      
X = np.arange(-5, 5, 1
Y = np.arange(-5, 5, 1
U, V = np.meshgrid(X, Y) 
        
fig, ax = plt.subplots() 
ax.quiver(X, Y, U, V)
  
w = ax.xaxis.get_tick_space() 
      
print("Value Return :\n"+str(w)) 
     
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_tick_space()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")  
         
plt.show()


Output: 

 

Value Return :
11

Example 2:

Python3




# Implementation of matplotlib function 
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
   
fig, ax2 = plt.subplots(sharex = True)
fig.subplots_adjust(left=0.2, wspace=0.6)
box = dict(facecolor='green', pad=5, alpha=0.2)
   
ax2.plot(20*np.random.rand(10))
ax2.set_xlabel('X - Label', bbox=box)
ax2.set_xlim(0, 10)
Axis.set_label_coords(ax2.xaxis, 0.5, 0.95)
  
w = ax2.xaxis.get_tick_space() 
      
print("Value Return :\n"+str(w)) 
     
fig.suptitle("""matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_tick_space()
function Example\n""", fontweight ="bold")  
         
plt.show()


Output: 

 

Value Return :
10
