==========
Axis ticks
==========

The x and y Axis on each Axes have default tick "locators" and "formatters"
that depend on the scale being used (see :ref:`user_axes_scales`).  It is
possible to customize the ticks and tick labels with either high-level methods
like `~.axes.Axes.set_xticks` or set the locators and formatters directly on
the axis.

Manual location and formats
===========================

The simplest method to customize the tick locations and formats is to use
`~.axes.Axes.set_xticks` and `~.axes.Axes.set_yticks`.  These can be used on
either the major or the minor ticks.

# Locators and Formatters
# =======================
#
# Manually setting the ticks as above works well for specific final plots, but
# does not adapt as the user interacts with the Axes.   At a lower level,
# Matplotlib has ``Locators`` that are meant to automatically choose ticks
# depending on the current view limits of the axis, and ``Formatters`` that are
# meant to format the tick labels automatically.
#
# The full list of locators provided by Matplotlib are listed at
# :ref:`locators`, and the formatters at :ref:`formatters`.

# Similarly, we can specify "Formatters" for the major and minor ticks on each
# axis.
#
# The tick format is configured via the function `~.Axis.set_major_formatter`
# or `~.Axis.set_minor_formatter`. It accepts:
#
# - a format string, which implicitly creates a `.StrMethodFormatter`.
# - a function,  implicitly creates a `.FuncFormatter`.
# - an instance of a `.Formatter` subclass. The most common are
#
#   - `.NullFormatter`: No labels on the ticks.
#   - `.StrMethodFormatter`: Use string `str.format` method.
#   - `.FormatStrFormatter`: Use %-style formatting.
#   - `.FuncFormatter`: Define labels through a function.
#   - `.FixedFormatter`: Set the label strings explicitly.
#   - `.ScalarFormatter`: Default formatter for scalars: auto-pick the format string.
#   - `.PercentFormatter`: Format labels as a percentage.
#
# See :ref:`formatters` for the complete list.

# Styling ticks (tick parameters)
# ===============================
#
# The appearance of ticks can be controlled at a low level by finding the
# individual `~.axis.Tick` on the axis.  However, usually it is simplest to
# use `~.axes.Axes.tick_params` to change all the objects at once.
#
# The ``tick_params`` method can change the properties of ticks:
#
# - length
# - direction (in or out of the frame)
# - colors
# - width and length
# - and whether the ticks are drawn at the bottom, top, left, or right of the
#   Axes.
#
# It also can control the tick labels:
#
# - labelsize (fontsize)
# - labelcolor (color of the label)
# - labelrotation
# - labelbottom, labeltop, labelleft, labelright
#
# In addition there is a *pad* keyword argument that specifies how far the tick
# label is from the tick.
#
# Finally, the grid linestyles can be set:
#
# - grid_color
# - grid_alpha
# - grid_linewidth
# - grid_linestyle
#
# All these properties can be restricted to one axis, and can be applied to
# just the major or minor ticks
