These are enabled by default for LogNorm.\r\n\r\nIf the user sets custom tick marks for LogNorm, the minor ticks become confusing in my opinion. \r\n\r\n**Example**\r\n\r\n```python\r\n\r\nfig, ax = plt.subplots()\r\n\r\ndata = np.clip(randn(250, 250)*1000, 0, 1000)\r\n\r\ncax = ax.imshow(data, norm=mpl.colors.LogNorm(vmin=1, vmax=1000))\r\ncbar = fig.colorbar(cax, format='%d')\r\ncbar.set_ticks([5, 50, 500])\r\n```\r\n\r\nWhich produces,\r\n\r\n![mpl3_lognorm](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/15056721/51500919-e3c63700-1d9d-11e9-949b-116b466c60c3.png)\r\n\r\n**Discussion**\r\n\r\nThere is already the method ``Colorbar.minorticks_off``, however it has a check that if the axis is log, then do nothing.\r\n\r\n**Request**\r\n\r\nThe minor tickmarks add confusion here in my opinion. Can we have the option to turn them off via the existing ``Colorbar.minorticks_off``?\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/LevN0","@type":"Person","name":"LevN0"},"datePublished":"2019-01-21T22:03:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/13257/matplotlib/issues/13257"}
