MinorLocator

class pysmithchart.locators.MinorLocator(n=None)

Bases: AutoMinorLocator

Minor tick locator for Smith chart axes.

This locator generates evenly spaced minor ticks between major tick values. It supports both fixed and automatic modes:

• Fixed mode (n=int): Uses the same number of divisions for all intervals

• Automatic mode (n=None): Adapts divisions per interval based on spacing

ndivs

The number of divisions between major tick intervals, or None for automatic mode.

Type:

int or None

_ticks

Cached array of computed minor tick values.

Type:

numpy.ndarray or None

Parameters:

n (int or None, optional) – The number of divisions between major tick values. - If an integer: use exactly that many divisions for all intervals. - If None: automatically compute divisions per interval based on spacing. Defaults to None (automatic).

Methods Summary

__call__()	Compute and return minor tick positions.
get_ticklocs()	Return the computed minor tick locations without filtering.
tick_values(vmin, vmax)	Call parent to find tick values.

Methods Documentation

__call__()

Compute and return minor tick positions.

Ticks are recomputed on every call to ensure they stay synchronized with the current ndivs setting and major tick locations.

If ndivs is None (automatic mode), divisions are computed adaptively per interval to maintain uniform spacing within each major interval.

get_ticklocs()

Return the computed minor tick locations without filtering.

tick_values(vmin, vmax)

Call parent to find tick values.

This doesn’t get used.
