[ Python 常見問題 ] matplotlib - Python xticks in subplots

Source From Here 
Question 
If I plot a single imshow plot I can use: 

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. fig, ax = plt.subplots()  
2. ax.imshow(data)  
3. plt.xticks( [4, 14, 24],  [5, 15, 25] )  

to replace my xtick labels. Now, I am plotting 12 imshow plots using 

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. f, axarr = plt.subplots(4, 3)  
2. axarr[i, j].imshow(data)  

How can I change my xticks just for one of these subplots? I can only access the axes of the subplots with axarr[i, j]. How can I access plt just for one particular subplot? 

How-To 
There are two ways: 

1. Use the axes methods of the subplot object (e.g. ax.set_xticks and ax.set_xticklabels) or
2. Use plt.sca to set the current axes for the pyplot state machine (i.e. the plt interface).

As an example (this also illustrates using setp to change the properties of all of the subplots): 

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

1. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
2.   
3. fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=3, ncols=4)  
4.   
5. # Set the ticks and ticklabels for all axes  
6. plt.setp(axes, xticks=[0.1, 0.5, 0.9], xticklabels=['a', 'b', 'c'],  
7.         yticks=[1, 2, 3])  
8.   
9. # Use the pyplot interface to change just one subplot...  
10. plt.sca(axes[1, 1])  
11. plt.xticks(range(3), ['A', 'Big', 'Cat'], color='red')  
12.   
13. fig.tight_layout()  
14. plt.show()
