Re: [Matplotlib-users] adding a number of minor tick marks between major tick marks feature

Hi Matthew, one thing, which should work is the following. If you want to set the positions of minor ticks of an axes 'ax', you can use ax.set_xticks([0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.1], minor=True) but I'm not an expert and I'm not sure if something like you mentioned is already supported (namely providing the number of minor tick marks).
