[Matplotlib-users] Make tick labels thicker

[Berit H. <be...@to...>]

Hi,

First of all, thanks to the developers for such a great Python plotting 
package. I use matplotlib more and more for my work.

There is one thing, which I cannot get to work, namely to change the 
linewidth of the tick lines.

I have tried

ticklines = ax.get_xticklines()
ticklines.extend(ax.get_yticklines())

for line in ticklines:
    line.set_linewidth(10)

but nothing changes. I can change the color and other properties, but no 
matter what I set for the linewidth, it does not change. I have also tried 
to go in and

ticklines[0]._linewidth = 10

but again no change. If I do a similar thing for the color
ticklines[0]._color = 'b'

the color is changed.

I use matplotlib 0.91 on a RedHat EL 4 machine.

Any ideas on how to solve this would be much appreciated. I have searched 
the mailing lists and the site, but could not find a solution (apologies 
if I should have missed it)

Best regards,
Berit
