Discouraged

These methods should be used together with care, calling set_ticks to specify the desired tick locations before calling set_ticklabels to specify a matching series of labels. Calling set_ticks makes a ~matplotlib.ticker.FixedLocator; it's list of locations is then used by set_ticklabels to make an appropriate ~matplotlib.ticker.FuncFormatter.
