matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_ticklabels

Axis.set_ticklabels(ticklabels, *, minor=False, **kwargs)

[Discouraged] Set the text values of the tick labels.

Discouraged

The use of this method is discouraged, because of the dependency on tick positions. In most cases, you'll want to use set_[x/y]ticks(positions, labels) instead.

If you are using this method, you should always fix the tick positions before, e.g. by using Axis.set_ticks or by explicitly setting a FixedLocator. Otherwise, ticks are free to move and the labels may end up in unexpected positions.

Parameters:

ticklabelssequence of str or of Texts

Texts for labeling each tick location in the sequence set by Axis.set_ticks; the number of labels must match the number of locations.

minorbool

If True, set minor ticks instead of major ticks.

**kwargs

Text properties.

Returns:

list of Texts

For each tick, includes tick.label1 if it is visible, then tick.label2 if it is visible, in that order.
