Axis line styles
================
This example shows some configurations for axis style.
Note: The `mpl_toolkits.axisartist` axes classes may be confusing for new
users. If the only aim is to obtain arrow heads at the ends of the axes,
rather check out the :doc:`/gallery/recipes/centered_spines_with_arrows`
example.
