And does state that turning the labels back on require one to use tick_params.\r\n\r\nHowever, it is not clear what the user needs to do to turn a specific axis's tick labels back on.\r\n\r\nI did not find a single example on how to do this in the entire documentation from Matplotlib.\r\n\r\nI would be happy to contribute writing a working example (I just need to know how to do it).\r\n\r\n### Suggested improvement\r\n\r\nTo include a working examples on how to turn a specific axis' tick label back on (one for the x-axis, a second for the y-axis).\r\n\r\nHere is the suggested starting point:\r\n\r\n```\r\nimport numpy as np\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\n\r\nn_cols = 4\r\nn_rows = 5\r\n\r\nfig, axs = plt.subplots(n_cols, n_rows,  sharex = True,  sharey = True)\r\n\r\nfor ax in axs.ravel():\r\n    x = np.random.rand(20)\r\n    y = np.random.rand(20)\r\n\r\n    ax.scatter(x,y)\r\n\r\n# turn on x-axis tick labels at [2,2]\r\naxs[1,1].tick_params(labelbottom=True)\r\n\r\n# same for y-axis tick labels at [2,3]\r\naxs[1,2].tick_params(labelleft=True)\r\n\r\n# same for both x and y axes tick labels for [3,3]\r\naxs[2,2].tick_params(labelbottom=True, labelleft=True)\r\n\r\nplt.show()\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/benoitespinola","@type":"Person","name":"benoitespinola"},"datePublished":"2023-01-12T17:22:10.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/24958/matplotlib/issues/24958"}
