pyplot how to hide the small scale when set scale is log

Question

I set the scale of Y to log:

plt.yscale('log')

But I want remove the smaller scale in y axis, and only keep the 10^k (k is integer) on the scale. How to do it?

Answer 1

The small lines on the y-axis are called minorticks in matplotlib parlance.

You can turn them off with

plt.minorticks_off()
