Re: [Matplotlib-users] MultipleLocator and MaxNLocator

Tommy, (Sorry for the doubleup. I just realized I forgot to hit reply-all.)

Do you want to remove the tick at 0 and only have 5,10, etc.? Could you
just do something like this instead:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import MultipleLocator
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax1.set_xticks(range(5,11,5))
ax1.plot(range(11))
plt.show()
