         Default is None, for no change.

        Other Parameters
        ----------------
        **kwargs
            Remaining keyword arguments are passed to directly to the
            ``set_params()`` method of the locator. Supported keywords depend
            on the type of the locator. See for example
            `~.ticker.MaxNLocator.set_params` for the `.ticker.MaxNLocator`
            used by default for linear.

        Examples
        --------
        When plotting small subplots, one might want to reduce the maximum
        number of ticks and use tight bounds, for example::

            ax.locator_params(tight=True, nbins=4)
