To put xtick labels in a box, we can take the following steps
Steps
Create a new figure or activate an existing figure.
Get the current axis of the figure.
Set the left and bottom position of the axes.
Set the position of the spines, i.e., bottom and left.
To put xtick labels in a box, iterate the ticklabels and use set_bbox() method.
To display the figure, use Show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.00, 3.50]
plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True
plt.figure()
ax = plt.gca()
ax.xaxis.set_ticks_position('bottom')
ax.yaxis.set_ticks_position('left')
ax.spines['bottom'].set_position(('data', 0))
ax.spines['left'].set_position(('data', 0))
for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
label.set_fontsize(12)
label.set_bbox(dict(facecolor='red', edgecolor='black', alpha=0.7))
plt.show()Output
It will produce the following output −
