Thanks for you answer Eric. I had to get some sleep before trying out
things. I currently have the code below, but it does not remove the
zero value tick. It removes the tick at 5 and 10 however.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator
fig = plt.figure()
ax1
Tommy, (Sorry for the doubleup. I just realized I forgot to hit reply-all.)
Do you want to remove the tick at 0 and only have 5,10, etc.? Could you
just do something like this instead:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 =

Thanks again Ryan. That's exactly what I want to achieve; i.e. remove

from the xlim.

Tommy,
I'm sorry. I forgot to hit send all *again*. Below is my original message,
but the function I wrote is updated because it wasn't exactly correct
Ah. I was working on something to help out, so I'm just seeing Eric's very
elegant solution, which I have yet to try. However, I feel like

Erik, that doesn't seem to work either. I tried this:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator
class TrimmedMultipleLocator(MultipleLocator):
def tick_values(self, vmin, vmax):
return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[2:]
fig =
Eric, it works if I do:
return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[2:]
But not if I do as first suggested by you:
return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[1:]
I don't understand this behaviour. It should be [1:]. I'll just set
the ticks manually. Seems to

Ryan, my use case is indeed that I want to avoid overlapping ticks and
I want to avoid them by not displaying them. Here is a guy with the
same problem:

Ryan, I stopped using gnuplot, because it requires the data to be
formatted in very specific ways :) I remember having functions just to
format the input data correctly for heat plots and the wrapper scripts
I wrote were quite convoluted. Matplotlib has its advantages for sure.
Otherwise I would
Yep. I see your problem. My function and Eric's object should help here.
A sore-spot with many folks coming over to Matplotlib from X is the fact
that MPL does not calculate the size of text until the plot is generated.
That means it doesn't always get text positioning, etc. exactly correct.
That
Thanks Eric. I decided to get peace of mind and just set the tick
labels manually. I can't afford to spend several hours on all of my
plots. I appreciate your help a lot.

They are for different situations. MultipleLocator is for when you know
what you want your tick interval to be; MaxNLocator is for when you
