How to set ticks on 3d plots in matplotlib

Hi, I was struggling with the same problem since 2 days. But today I found
the solution here:

http://efreedom.com/Question/1-2195983/Matplotlib-Formatting-Dates-Axis-3D-Bar-Graph

#When you use the method

ax.set_xtics

#it doesn't put ticks to your 3d plot, instead puts ticst to 2D canvas.
#When you use Axes3D, I understand that you should use:

ax.w_xaxis
ax.w_yaxis
ax.w_zaxis

#to set axis properties. However if you try:

ax.w_xaxis.set_ticks(arrayOfTicks)

#screws up the plot. Instead you can use this, which worked perfect with
matplotlib 1.0 for me.

import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
ax.w_xaxic.set_major_locator(ticker.FixedLocator(arrayOfTicks))

Cheers

Hello list, I am trying to set ticks on an Axes3D plot.
What I really want is, actually, not to have any ticks.
For a 2D plot I set the ticks to an empty list.
But in a 3D plot, I cannot set any ticks whatsover.
At least not with a sequence.
Any thoughts?

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

fig = figure()

ax = Axes3D(fig)

ax.plot([0,1],[0,1],[0,1])

# Now I want to set ticks:

ax.set_xticks()

# ax.set_xticks([.2,.3,.4]) # changes the scale of the figure, but not the
ticks

show()

And the plot has ticks at .2 .4 .6 .8 on the x-axis.

Thanks for any help,

Mark
