Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minorticklines() function in Python

Matplotlib is a library in Python and it is numerical – mathematical extension for NumPy library. It is an amazing visualization library in Python for 2D plots of arrays and used for working with the broader SciPy stack.

matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minorticklines() Function

The Axis.get_minorticklines() function in axis module of matplotlib library is used to get a minor tick lines as a list of Line2D instances.

Syntax: Axis.get_minorticklines(self) 

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter. 

Return value: This method returns the minor tick lines as a list of Line2D instances 

Below examples illustrate the matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minorticklines() function in matplotlib.axis:

Example 1:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

def tellme(s):
    ax.set_title(s, fontsize = 16)
    fig.canvas.draw()
    renderer = fig.canvas.renderer
    Artist.draw(ax, renderer)

tellme("Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minorticklines()\n\
Function Example")
ax.grid()

print("Value of get_minorticklines() :",
      ax.xaxis.get_minorticklines())

plt.show()

Output:

Value of get_minorticklines() : <a list of 0 Line2D ticklines objects>

Example 2:

Python3

# Implementation of matplotlib function
from matplotlib.axis import Axis
from matplotlib.artist import Artist
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection ='3d')

X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.1)
ax.plot_wireframe(X, Y, Z, rstride = 5,
                  cstride = 5)


ax.view_init(30, 50)
fig.canvas.draw()
renderer = fig.canvas.renderer
Artist.draw(ax, renderer)

fig.suptitle('Matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_minorticklines()\n\
Function Example')
ax.grid()

print("Value of get_minorticklines() :",
      ax.xaxis.get_minorticklines())

plt.show()

Output:

Value of get_minorticklines() : <a list of 0 Line2D ticklines objects>
