Methods Documentation
- set_minor_frequency(xfrequency, yfrequency=None)[source]¶
Set the number of subticks per major tick.
Set to one to hide minor ticks. If not yfrequency given, frequency is the same in both axis. Otherwise, xfrequency represents the frequency in the xaxis and yfrequency the one in the yaxis.
- set_tick_direction(direction)[source]¶
Set the direction of the ticks to be facing out of the axes (
out
) or into the axes (in
).
- set_xspacing(spacing)[source]¶
Set the x-axis tick spacing, in degrees. To set the tick spacing to be automatically determined, set this to ‘auto’.
