Cleanest way to hide every nth tick label in matplotlib colorbar?

Question

The labels on my horizontal colorbar are too close together and I don\'t want to reduce text size further:

cbar = plt.colorbar(shrink=0.8, orientation=\'hori         


        

Answer 1

One-liner for those who are into that!

n = 7  # Keeps every 7th label
[l.set_visible(False) for (i,l) in enumerate(ax.xaxis.get_ticklabels()) if i % n != 0]
