    <p>I would like to hide the major tick labels on my x-axis while retaining just its minor labels. The idea is that my dates are displayed in between the major ticks instead of on them by default. I have seen a few other answers to similar questions as this one and tried using their way of hiding the major ticks however I am not having much luck getting it working at all. My graph currently looks like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f4QAk.png" alt="Major and minor ticks for November"></p> <p>This is the formatting code I originally had for my graph before I decided I wanted to put the labels on the minor ticks.</p> <pre><code>day_fmt = '%d' myFmt = mdates.DateFormatter(day_fmt) ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(myFmt) ax.xaxis.set_major_locator(matplotlib.dates.DayLocator(interval=1)) </code></pre> <p>I have attempted to get the minor ticks to show up while hiding major ticks using the code below. Here I've used an hour locator at 12pm to get the middle point of a day:</p> <pre><code>import matplotlib.ticker ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(ticker.NullFormatter()) #Clear major tick labels ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(myFmt) ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(matplotlib.dates.HourLocator(interval=12)) </code></pre> <p>But for some reason I get graphs that look like the picture above - with both major and minor x-axis tick labels. I also tried clearing unwanted ticks using <code>ax.set_xticks([])</code>. Has anyone had similar issues and fixed this or know a way to overcome this? </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
