Draw minor ticks at arbitrary place using Python Matplotlib.pyplot

In [1]:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from itertools import product
from matplotlib import ticker
%matplotlib inline

In [2]:

plt.figure(figsize=(4,3),facecolor="w")
plt.plot([0,1],[0,1])
minors = [0.1,0.12,0.125,0.15,0.16,0.17,0.18,0.19]
plt.axes().xaxis.set_minor_locator(ticker.FixedLocator(minors))
plt.tick_params(which='minor', length=3, color='r')
