在python中使用matplotlib设置刻度位置时出错

我正在尝试在matplotlib中设置刻度标记位置。运行以下最小示例时出现错误:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator

x = 10.*np.random.randn(1000)
y = 10.*np.random.randn(1000)

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1,1,1)
ax.scatter(x, y)
ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(MultipleLocator(1.))
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(MultipleLocator(1.))
plt.show()

错误在于设置x轴和y轴刻度线的两条线。如果我改为使用NullFormatter(),或者完全省略这些行,代码运行正常并产生预期的图。但是,上面的代码会返回以下错误:

Exception in Tkinter callback

    self.major.formatter.set_locs(majorLocs)

我试过谷歌搜索这个错误,但我找不到其他有类似问题的人。关于使用定位器为什么会产生错误的任何想法?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:8)

MultipleLocator是一个定位器,而不是格式化程序。你想用

ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(1.))
ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(MultipleLocator(1.))

这适合我(使用1看起来不太漂亮,但它有效)。
