##### Step for tick labels

You can set a step for tick labels with `ticklabelstep`. In this example, we hide labels between every `2` ticks on the y axes. Similarly, this can be used with `fig.update_xaxes` for x axes: `fig.update_xaxes(ticklabelstep=2)`.

```python
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.iris()

fig = px.scatter(df, x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", facet_col="species")
fig.update_yaxes(ticklabelstep=2)

fig.show()
```

##### Toggling axis labels

The axis tick mark labels can be disabled by setting the `showticklabels` axis property to `False`.
