How to change the xticks in matplotlib-CodePudding

I am trying to rename the yticks in matplotlib.
With this code lines I get the first figure.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
incr = -2
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(4,2))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_yticks([])

yy = [[0.1, 0.2, 0.4], [0.2,0.3, 0.5], [0.4, 0.3, 0.5]]
for i in range(len(yy)):
    incr  = 2
    xx = list(range(len(yy[i])))
    xx = [x incr for x in xx]
    ax.plot(xx, yy[i])
    ax.plot([incr,incr], [0,.3])

How could I change the xticks as in this figure

CodePudding user response：

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

incr = -2
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(4,2))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.set_yticks([])
xlabel = []
yy = [[0.1, 0.2, 0.4], [0.2,0.3, 0.5], [0.4, 0.3, 0.5]]
for i in range(len(yy)):
    incr  = 2
    xx = list(range(len(yy[i])))
    xx = [x incr for x in xx]
    ax.plot(xx, yy[i])
    ax.plot([incr,incr], [0,.3])
    xlabel.append(incr)

ax.set_xticks(xlabel)
ax.set_xticklabels(['set 1', 'set 2', 'set 3'], rotation=45)

for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
    label.set_horizontalalignment('left')

Output:

One can also do this with pylab and xticks

import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [0,1,2]
y = [90,40,65]
labels = ['high', 'low', 37337]
plt.plot(x,y, 'r')
plt.xticks(x, labels, rotation='vertical')
plt.show()
