Remove xticks in a matplotlib plot?
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 pltplt.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 offplt.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')
Alternatively, you can pass an empty tick position and label as
# for matplotlib.pyplot# ---------------------plt.xticks([], [])# for axis object# ---------------# from Anakhand May 5 at 13:08# for major ticksax.set_xticks([])# for minor ticksax.set_xticks([], minor=True)
