How to get rid of the original yticks/yticklabels when I use ax.set_yscale('log')

Question

I am plotting some values in a semilogy plot. I need to use the

ax.set_yscale(\'log\')

rather than

ax.semilogy(...

Answer 1

The labels shown are minor ticklabels. You may set the minor ticks to an empty list to get rid of them.

ax.set_yticks([], minor=True)

or just set the minor ticks off,

ax.minorticks_off()
