mpl_toolkits.axisartist.grid_finder.MaxNLocator

class mpl_toolkits.axisartist.grid_finder.MaxNLocator(nbins=10, steps=None, trim=True, integer=False, symmetric=False, prune=None)

Bases: MaxNLocator

Parameters:

nbinsint or 'auto', default: 10

Maximum number of intervals; one less than max number of ticks. If the string 'auto', the number of bins will be automatically determined based on the length of the axis.

stepsarray-like, optional

Sequence of acceptable tick multiples, starting with 1 and ending with 10. For example, if steps=[1, 2, 4, 5, 10], 20, 40, 60 or 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 would be possible sets of ticks because they are multiples of 2. 30, 60, 90 would not be generated because 3 does not appear in this example list of steps.

integerbool, default: False

If True, ticks will take only integer values, provided at least min_n_ticks integers are found within the view limits.

symmetricbool, default: False

If True, autoscaling will result in a range symmetric about zero.

prune{'lower', 'upper', 'both', None}, default: None

Remove the 'lower' tick, the 'upper' tick, or ticks on 'both' sides if they fall exactly on an axis' edge (this typically occurs when rcParams["axes.autolimit_mode"] (default: 'data') is 'round_numbers'). Removing such ticks is mostly useful for stacked or ganged plots, where the upper tick of an Axes overlaps with the lower tick of the axes above it.

min_n_ticksint, default: 2

Relax nbins and integer constraints if necessary to obtain this minimum number of ticks.

__call__(v1, v2)

Return the locations of the ticks.
