How to turn on minor ticks only on Y-axis in Matplotlib?

Question

Matplotlib function "minor_ticks_on()" turns on ticks on both the X and Y axes. I want to disable ticks on the X-axis, and it should be present only on the Y-axis. How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can use another function "xaxis.set_tick_params()" with "bottom=False" parameter. It will turn off the ticks on the X-axis.

ax.minorticks_on()
ax.xaxis.set_tick_params(which='minor', bottom=False)
