📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFully automatic linear axes no longer persist resolved major tick positions when minor ticks are enabled. Explicit configurations still store positions. Regression tests cover automatic minor ticks and shared symlog, asinh, and logit axes. ChangesAxis tick behavior
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change restores automatic major tick behavior, but one regression test uses x values outside the logit domain, so that case may not validate the intended behavior. The PR is otherwise mergeable with this minor test correction. Possibly related PRs

Use valid x data for the logit case.
xs places every point outside the logit domain (0, 1). The default nonpositive="mask" setting converts every x value to NaN. Use np.linspace(0.01, 0.99, 50) for logit.

Closes #493.
The problem
minorticks_on()freezes the major tick positions. Asking for minor ticks turns an automatic axis into a fixed one, and because the renderer filters authored positions to the visible window, the tick labels disappear once you zoom past them. Withoutminorticks_on()the labels rescale normally.Visible in the compiled payload, no browser needed:
Before this change:
The cause
_apply_tickersreturns early when nothing is registered:minorticks_on()registers aminor_locator, so that guard stops short-circuiting and execution reachesprops["tick_values"] = ..., which publishes the majors as authored positions.That write is right when the caller sets a major locator or formatter, since those define where the majors go. It is wrong when the only thing registered is a minor locator: the majors were still chosen by
AutoLocator, and pinning them is not correct.The change
Compute
ticksas before. It is still needed to subdivide between the majors, but only publishtick_valuesandtick_countwhen the majors were actually determined by the caller:After:
with
minor_tick_valuesstill populated.Testing
minorticks_on()leavestick_valuesunset while minor values are still emitted. It fails onmainwithassert [0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0] is None.Caveat: this does not make minor ticks regenerate
The majors are automatic again, but the minors are not.
minor_tick_valuesis the only minor field on the wire, and the client filters that fixed list to the view rather than generating anything:So the minor positions computed for the initial domain are all that ever exist. Zoom in far enough and none of them fall inside the view, leaving regenerating majors with no minors between them.
Fixing that properly means shipping the subdivision rule rather than the positions, something like
minor_subdivisions, and having the client subdivide between the majors it generates. That is a wire field plus client work, which would be a fair bit more work, and I'm not confident enough around the codebase to tackle it.Summary by CodeRabbit
