mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.Ticks

class mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.Ticks(ticksize, tick_out=False, *, axis=None, **kwargs) [source]

Bases: mpl_toolkits.axisartist.axis_artist.AttributeCopier, matplotlib.lines.Line2D

Ticks are derived from Line2D, and note that ticks themselves are markers. Thus, you should use set_mec, set_mew, etc.

To change the tick size (length), you need to use set_ticksize. To change the direction of the ticks (ticks are in opposite direction of ticklabels by default), use set_tick_out(False).
