.. _howto-ticks:

Configure the tick widths
-------------------------

Wherever possible, it is recommended to use the :meth:`~.axes.Axes.tick_params`
or :meth:`~.axis.Axis.set_tick_params` methods to modify tick properties::

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(range(10))

ax.tick_params(width=10)

plt.show()

For more control of tick properties that are not provided by the above methods,
it is important to know that in Matplotlib, the ticks are *markers*. All
:class:`~matplotlib.lines.Line2D` objects support a line (solid, dashed, etc)
and a marker (circle, square, tick). The tick width is controlled by the
``"markeredgewidth"`` property, so the above effect can also be achieved by::

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(range(10))

for line in ax.get_xticklines() + ax.get_yticklines():
line.set_markeredgewidth(10)

plt.show()

The other properties that control the tick marker, and all markers,
are ``markerfacecolor``, ``markeredgecolor``, ``markeredgewidth``,
``markersize``. For more information on configuring ticks, see
:ref:`axis-container` and :ref:`tick-container`.

.. _date-index-plots:

Skip dates where there is no data
---------------------------------

When plotting time series, e.g., financial time series, one often wants to
leave out days on which there is no data, e.g., weekends. By passing in
dates on the x-xaxis, you get large horizontal gaps on periods when there
is not data. The solution is to pass in some proxy x-data, e.g., evenly
sampled indices, and then use a custom formatter to format these as dates.
:doc:`/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/date_index_formatter` demonstrates
how to use an 'index formatter' to achieve the desired plot.
