Explanation of Solution

Function “xticks()”:

  • • Function “xticks()” displays the customized tick mark labels along the X axis.
  • • This function sets the X limits of the current location with the tick label.

Syntax:

The “xticks()” function has the below format.

#Customize the tick marks along the X axis

plt.xticks(locations, labels)

Explanation:

Here,

  • • “xticks()” is the function that customizes the tick marks along the X axis.
  • • The variables “locations” and “labels” are one-dimensional list that specifies the tick mark locations and its corresponding labels.

Example program:

The below example shows how to use the “xticks()” function in Python.

#Import the files

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#Function definition

def main():

         #Define the left edges

         leftedges=[0,10,20,30,40]

         #Define the heights

         heights=[500,800,645,700,900]

         #Create a bar chart

         plt.bar(leftedges, heights,5)  

         #Create X axis label

         plt.xlabel('Year')

         #Create Y axis label

         plt.ylabel('Profit')

         #Create X axis ticks

         plt.xticks([0,10,20,30,40],

         ['2010','2011','2012','2013','2014'])

         #Show the graph

         plt.show()

#Call the function

main()

In the above code,

  • • Define the function “main()”. Inside the function,
    • ○ Create two lists to store the left edges and heights of all the bars.
    • ○ Then create labels for the X and Y axes.
    • ○ The function “xticks()” places the tick marks in the X axis at locations “0, 10, 20, 30,and 40” with the labels “2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014”, respectively.

Output:

Screenshot of the bar chart using the function “xticks()”

Function “yticks()”:

  • • The function “yticks()” in Python enables the user to customize the tick marks labels along the Y axis.
  • • This function sets the Y limits of the current location with the given tick label.

Syntax:

The “yticks()” function has the below format.

#Customize the tick marks along the Y axis

Volume of Histogram: Imagine a histogram (bar graph). Design an algorithm to compute the volume of water it could hold if someone poured water across the top. You can assume that each histogram bar has width 1. EXAMPLE Input: {0, 0, 4, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0, 3, 0, 5, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0} (Black bars are the histogram. Gray is water.)
