Pavol,

In your matplotlibrc file you can set the tick direction:

...
xtick.direction      : in     # direction: in or out
...
ytick.direction      : in     # direction: in or out
...

Alternatively, interactively or within a script you can use:

rcParams['xtick.direction'] = 'out'
rcParams['ytick.direction'] = 'out'

Not that I need this at the moment, but can you have them be both in and 
out?

Chris,

No, that would require changes to the present code.
