methods on individual tick objects).Examples
>>> ax.yaxis.set_tick_params(labelsize=30, labelcolor='red', direction='out', which='major') >>> ax.yaxis.get_tick_params(which='major') {'direction': 'out', 'left': True, 'right': False, 'labelleft': True, 'labelright': False, 'gridOn': False, 'labelsize': 30, 'labelcolor': 'red'} >>> ax.yaxis.get_tick_params(which='minor') {'left': True, 'right': False, 'labelleft': True, 'labelright': False, 'gridOn': False}
