python - Matplotlib: Make all values in range show up on x axis

Question

Could someone please guide me on how should I make sure that all ticks (or maybe a better way to specify will be to say all elements in the list passed to plot function) are displayed on the x axis when using matplotlib to plot graphs?

plt.plot(xValues, meanWeekdayArrivalCounts, 'k-')

I want all the values in the list xValues to show up on the graph. By default, only, 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 show up.

Answer 1

Simply add plt.xticks(xValues) to your code. Given the number of points in your graph, the labels might clutter.

You could display them as minor ticks if you set them on the axes object with ax.set_xticks(xValues, minor=True).
