Set axis marks in matplotlib

Question

I have a plot

plt.xlim(xmin=0, xmax=max_value)
plt.plot(x,y)

where all values in x are between 0 and max_value.

It's important for me to have both start value 0 and end value max_value on the x-axis in the plot.

If max_value = 88, the plot will show labels 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 but not 88. How can I make sure the plots shows the end value?

Answer 1

This use default labels and add max_value:

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

Answer 2

Consider use plt.xticks method:

x = range(0,100)
y = x
max_value = 88
plt.xlim(xmin=0, xmax=max_value)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks([0, 10, max_value/2, max_value])
plt.show()
