Tick locating and formatting
============================

This module contains classes to support completely configurable tick
locating and formatting. Although the locators know nothing about major
or minor ticks, they are used by the Axis class to support major and
minor tick locating and formatting. Generic tick locators and
formatters are provided, as well as domain specific custom ones.

Default Formatter
-----------------

The default formatter identifies when the x-data being plotted is a
small range on top of a large off set. To reduce the chances that the
ticklabels overlap the ticks are labeled as deltas from a fixed offset.
For example::

   ax.plot(np.arange(2000, 2010), range(10))

will have tick of 0-9 with an offset of +2e3. If this is not desired
turn off the use of the offset on the default formatter::

   ax.get_xaxis().get_major_formatter().set_useOffset(False)

set the rcParam ``axes.formatter.useoffset=False`` to turn it off
globally, or set a different formatter.

Tick locating
-------------

The Locator class is the base class for all tick locators. The locators
handle autoscaling of the view limits based on the data limits, and the
choosing of tick locations. A useful semi-automatic tick locator is
`MultipleLocator`. It is initialized with a base, e.g., 10, and it picks
axis limits and ticks that are multiples of that base.

The Locator subclasses defined here are

:class:`AutoLocator`
    `MaxNLocator` with simple defaults.  This is the default tick locator for
    most plotting.

:class:`MaxNLocator`
    Finds up to a max number of intervals with ticks at nice locations.

:class:`LinearLocator`
    Space ticks evenly from min to max.

:class:`LogLocator`
    Space ticks logarithmically from min to max.

:class:`MultipleLocator`
    Ticks and range are a multiple of base; either integer or float.

:class:`FixedLocator`
    Tick locations are fixed.

:class:`IndexLocator`
    Locator for index plots (e.g., where ``x = range(len(y))``).

:class:`NullLocator`
    No ticks.

:class:`SymmetricalLogLocator`
    Locator for use with with the symlog norm; works like `LogLocator` for the
    part outside of the threshold and adds 0 if inside the limits.

:class:`LogitLocator`
    Locator for logit scaling.

:class:`OldAutoLocator`
    Choose a `MultipleLocator` and dynamically reassign it for intelligent
    ticking during navigation.

:class:`AutoMinorLocator`
    Locator for minor ticks when the axis is linear and the
    major ticks are uniformly spaced.  Subdivides the major
    tick interval into a specified number of minor intervals,
    defaulting to 4 or 5 depending on the major interval.


There are a number of locators specialized for date locations - see
the `dates` module.

You can define your own locator by deriving from Locator. You must
override the ``__call__`` method, which returns a sequence of locations,
and you will probably want to override the autoscale method to set the
view limits from the data limits.

If you want to override the default locator, use one of the above or a custom
locator and pass it to the x or y axis instance. The relevant methods are::

  ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(xmajor_locator)
  ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(xminor_locator)
  ax.yaxis.set_major_locator(ymajor_locator)
  ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(yminor_locator)

The default minor locator is `NullLocator`, i.e., no minor ticks on by default.

Tick formatting
---------------

Tick formatting is controlled by classes derived from Formatter. The formatter
operates on a single tick value and returns a string to the axis.

:class:`NullFormatter`
    No labels on the ticks.

:class:`IndexFormatter`
    Set the strings from a list of labels.

:class:`FixedFormatter`
    Set the strings manually for the labels.

:class:`FuncFormatter`
    User defined function sets the labels.

:class:`StrMethodFormatter`
    Use string `format` method.

:class:`FormatStrFormatter`
    Use an old-style sprintf format string.

:class:`ScalarFormatter`
    Default formatter for scalars: autopick the format string.

:class:`LogFormatter`
    Formatter for log axes.

:class:`LogFormatterExponent`
    Format values for log axis using ``exponent = log_base(value)``.

:class:`LogFormatterMathtext`
    Format values for log axis using ``exponent = log_base(value)``
    using Math text.

:class:`LogFormatterSciNotation`
    Format values for log axis using scientific notation.

:class:`LogitFormatter`
    Probability formatter.

:class:`EngFormatter`
    Format labels in engineering notation

:class:`PercentFormatter`
    Format labels as a percentage

You can derive your own formatter from the Formatter base class by
simply overriding the ``__call__`` method. The formatter class has
access to the axis view and data limits.

To control the major and minor tick label formats, use one of the
following methods::

  ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(xmajor_formatter)
  ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(xminor_formatter)
  ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(ymajor_formatter)
  ax.yaxis.set_minor_formatter(yminor_formatter)

See :ref:`sphx_glr_gallery_ticks_and_spines_major_minor_demo.py` for an
example of setting major and minor ticks. See the :mod:`matplotlib.dates`
module for more information and examples of using date locators and formatters.

class LogFormatter(Formatter):
    """
    Base class for formatting ticks on a log or symlog scale.

    It may be instantiated directly, or subclassed.

    Parameters
    ----------
    base : float, optional, default: 10.
        Base of the logarithm used in all calculations.

    labelOnlyBase : bool, optional, default: False
        If True, label ticks only at integer powers of base.
        This is normally True for major ticks and False for
        minor ticks.

    minor_thresholds : (subset, all), optional, default: (1, 0.4)
        If labelOnlyBase is False, these two numbers control
        the labeling of ticks that are not at integer powers of
        base; normally these are the minor ticks. The controlling
        parameter is the log of the axis data range.  In the typical
        case where base is 10 it is the number of decades spanned
        by the axis, so we can call it 'numdec'. If ``numdec <= all``,
        all minor ticks will be labeled.  If ``all < numdec <= subset``,
        then only a subset of minor ticks will be labeled, so as to
        avoid crowding. If ``numdec > subset`` then no minor ticks will
        be labeled.

    linthresh : None or float, optional, default: None
        If a symmetric log scale is in use, its ``linthresh``
        parameter must be supplied here.

    Notes
    -----
    The `set_locs` method must be called to enable the subsetting
    logic controlled by the ``minor_thresholds`` parameter.

    In some cases such as the colorbar, there is no distinction between
    major and minor ticks; the tick locations might be set manually,
    or by a locator that puts ticks at integer powers of base and
    at intermediate locations.  For this situation, disable the
    minor_thresholds logic by using ``minor_thresholds=(np.inf, np.inf)``,
    so that all ticks will be labeled.

    To disable labeling of minor ticks when 'labelOnlyBase' is False,
    use ``minor_thresholds=(0, 0)``.  This is the default for the
    "classic" style.

    Examples
    --------
    To label a subset of minor ticks when the view limits span up
    to 2 decades, and all of the ticks when zoomed in to 0.5 decades
    or less, use ``minor_thresholds=(2, 0.5)``.

    To label all minor ticks when the view limits span up to 1.5
    decades, use ``minor_thresholds=(1.5, 1.5)``.
