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
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
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>
