Dear matplolib users,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to increase the tick thickness, that is the tick linewidth? Mine are too thin.
Thanks Goekhan and JJ for the help previously on how to increase the tick size, to fix the
xtick.major.size
in the matplotlib rc. That did make my ticks longer, but I still don't know how to make them 'fatter'.
Thanks,
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
JJ’s suggestion should work to make the ticks bolder:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/artists.html#axis-containers (See the lines at the very bottom)
In your code you should
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(range(10)
ax = plt.gca() #for each axis or whichever axis you want you should
for line in ax.xaxis.get_ticklines():
line.set_markeredgewidth(3)
This makes the x-ticks substantially visible.
