0 0 1 minute read

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()
