Question

I have a simple plot code as

plt.plot(x,y)
plt.show()

I want to add some extra ticks on the x-axis in addition to the current ones, let’s say at

extraticks=[2.1, 3, 7.6]

As you see I do not have a pattern for ticks so I do not want to increase the tick frequency for the whole axis; just keep the original ones and add those extras…

Is it possible, at all?

Regards

Yes, you can try something like:

plt.xticks(list(plt.xticks()[0]) + extraticks)

The function to use is xticks(). When called without arguments, it returns the current ticks. Calling it with arguments, you can set the tick positions and, optionally, labels.
