To convert or scale the axis values and redefine the tick frequency in matplotlib, we can make a list of xticks and xtick_labels using xticks() method. Place the axis scale and redefine the tick frequency.
Steps
Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
Initialize a variable, n, for the number of data points.
Create x and y data points using numpy.
Plot x and y data points using plot() method.
Make lists of ticks and tick labels.
Use xticks() method to place axis scale and redefine tick frequency.
To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True n = 10 x = np.linspace(-2, 2, n) y = np.exp(x) plt.plot(x, y) xticks = [i for i in range(int(n/2))] xtick_labels = ["x"+str(i) for i in range(int(n/2))] plt.xticks(xticks, xtick_labels) plt.show()
Output
