Re: [Matplotlib-users] MultipleLocator and MaxNLocator

[Tommy C. <tom...@gm...>]

Eric, it works if I do:
         return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[2:]

But not if I do as first suggested by you:
         return MultipleLocator.tick_values(self, vmin, vmax)[1:]

I don't understand this behaviour. It should be [1:]. I'll just set
the ticks manually. Seems to be the easiest thing. It would be
awesome, if MPL had the same behaviour as gnuplot, which allows me to
simply do:
set xtics <start>, <incr>
