This webpage让我相信我可以将空字符串传递给matplotlib.yticks,以便关闭数字的y-ticks。

但是,当我尝试这样做时,我收到以下错误:

In [1]: from pylab import *

In [2]: figure()
Out[2]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0xb69d43cc>

In [3]: yticks('')

这笔交易是什么?如果这种关闭y-ticks的方法不正确,那么正确的方法是什么?

答案 0 :(得分:2)

matplotlib中的yticks函数需要将列表作为参数而不是字符串。因此,要关闭y-ticks,

In [1]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
In [2]: plt.figure()
Out[2]: <matplotlib.figure.Figure at 0x10ef23710>

In [3]: plt.yticks([])
Out[3]: ([], <a list of 0 Text yticklabel objects>)

要更好地控制matplotlib中的滴答,请考虑使用this answer中指出的tick_params

Remove xticks in a matplot lib plot?

例如,关闭y轴上的所有刻度:
