adding extra axis ticks using matplotlib

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

Answer 1

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.
