matplotlib - How can I set the number of ticks in Julia using Pyplot? -

i struggling 'translate' instructions find python use of pyplot in julia. must simple question, know how set number of ticks in plot in julia using pyplot?

if have

x = [1,2,3,4,5] y = [1,3,6,8,11] 

you can

pyplot.plot(x,y) 

which draws plot

and do

pyplot.xticks([1,3,5]) 

for tics @ 1,3 , 5 on x-axis

pyplot.yticks([1,6,11]) 

for tics @ 1,6 , 11 on y-axis

tic spacing

if want fx 4 tics , want evenly spaced , dont mind floats, can

collect(linspace(x[1], x[end], 4).  

if need tics integers , want 4 tics, can do

collect(x[1]:div(x[end],4):x[end])  

edit

maybe wont belong here atleast you'll see it...

whenever you're looking method that's supposed in module x can find these methods typing in repl x. + tab key

to clarify, if want search module method suspect starts x, xticts, in repl (terminal/shell) do

pyplot.x 

and press tab twice , you'll see

julia> pyplot.x xkcd   xlabel  xlim    xscale  xticks 

and if you're not sure how method works, fx arguments, , there isnt available, can call

methods(pyplot.xticks) 

to see every "version" method has

bonus

the module standard methods, maximum, vcat etc base
