matplotlib.axis.Axis.get_tick_params#

Axis.get_tick_params(which='major')[source]#

Get appearance parameters for ticks, ticklabels, and gridlines.

New in version 3.7.

Parameters:
which{'major', 'minor'}, default: 'major'

The group of ticks for which the parameters are retrieved.

Returns:
dict

Properties for styling tick elements added to the axis.

Notes

This method returns the appearance parameters for styling new elements added to this axis and may be different from the values on current elements if they were modified directly by the user (e.g., via set_* methods on individual tick objects).
