<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Nathan,<br><br></div>I gave that a try. It does put the tickmarks where I want them. However, I have to specify the tickmark locations at the end of my projection plot customization block of code, as shown below, otherwise it has no effect and the tickmark locations stay default. Calling the function p._setup_plots() at the end of the code block negates all the prior customizations I made to the plot, so unfortunately the quick fix doesn't work in this case. <br><br></div>I will file an issue on bitbucket.<br><br></div><div>Here is my plotting code with your quick fix:<br></div><div><br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">p = yt.ProjectionPlot(ds,2,string,center=[cent,height,0],width=(wide,height),origin="native",data_source=cut,method='integrate',weight_field='temperature')#,data_source=cut<br>p.set_log(string,False)<br>p.set_minorticks(string,'off')<br>p.set_zlim(string,300,6000) #1E-3,10<br>p.set_colorbar_label(string, 'Temperature [K]') #'Temperature [K]')<br>p.set_cbar_minorticks(string,'off')<br>p.set_cmap(field=string, cmap=mymap) #cmap='kamae_r') #'gray_r')<br>p.set_buff_size((12000,2696)) #6000,1348<br>p.set_figure_size('12') #12<br>p.set_font({'size':12})<br>p.annotate_timestamp(x_pos=cent-0.55*wide+0.084,y_pos=0.0075,time_format="{time:.4} {units}",draw_inset_box=True,coord_system='plot',<br> text_args={'color':'black','weight':'normal','size':10},inset_box_args={'boxstyle': 'square,pad=0.2', 'fc':'white','ec': 'black','alpha': 1.0})<br>p._setup_plots()<br>ax = p.plots[string].axes<br>ax.yaxis.set_ticks([0.00, 0.15, 0.30])# ([0.00, 0.15, 0.30])</span><br><br></div>Rearranging the code like this gives me the plot I want, but the tickmark locations stay default:<br><br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">p =

This could be done by making the "axes" attribute a property that returns the axes if it's been created already or creates the axes if it hasn't yet been created and then returns them. That would take a little bit of coding work to get functional. </div><div><br></div><div>Please feel free to file an issue about this or take a stab at implementing it yourself.
