[Matplotlib-users] unclutter the axis

[Ernest A. <ead...@gm...>]

hi,

is there a way to put a label every two o three ticks,
instead of putting it on every tick?

the following works but it's a little cumbersome:

ax.set_yticklabels([pos % 2 != 0 and '%.2f' % num or ''
    for pos, num in enumerate(ax.get_yticks())])


cheers,

Ernest
