ticks are not exported correctly

[Isabell Lehmann]

Hi,

I have created a plot where I want to have the ticks only at specific positions:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import tikzplotlib

K = 16200
n = np.arange(0, K)
H = np.zeros_like(n)
H[3000] = 1
H[7000] = 1
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1)
ax.axhline(0,color='black', lw=1) # x = 0
ax.axvline(0,color='black', lw=1) # y = 0
ax.plot(n, H)
ax.set_xticks([3000, 7000])
ax.set_xticklabels([3000, 7000])
tikzplotlib.clean_figure()
tikzplotlib.save('1e.tex',figure=fig, axis_width='14cm', axis_height='7cm', standalone=True, encoding='utf-8')

The figure in Python looks the following:

However, the tick information is not exported:

Instead, there is a scientific notation which I did not want to have, and the ticks are distributed at the complete axis instead of showing only the two defined ticks.

This might be related to issue #355 , from where I took the idea of using ax.set_xticks instead of plt.xticks, but that did not help.

I used MikTeX and TeXStudio on a Windows PC.

I found the option strict but this unfortunately also keeps the Python font...

I had the same problem. The code checks if the value of the tick label is the same as the tick position. If this is true, it ignores the formatting of the label. To circumvent this problem, just put the values of the tick labels between dollar signs, i.e.
ax.set_xticklabels([$3000$, $7000$])

Do you mean as strings or something? Your code is not working

[BMaveau]

Indeed, the correct code is
ax.set_xticklabels(['$3000$', '$7000$'])
Tikzplotlib thinks that it is a string while LaTeX considers it a number.
