[matplotlib-devel] tick_params direction 'inout'

[Mike K. <mc...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I don't have time to make a patch at the moment, but I thought I'd point 
it out for anyone to give it a go...

tick_params(axis='both', **kwargs)
     Change the appearance of ticks and tick labels.

     Keyword arguments:

...

     *direction* : ['in' | 'out']
         Puts ticks inside or outside the axes.

I just found that *direction* accepts 'inout' as well, which
does indeed place the tick on both sides of the spine. So the 
documentation should be updated to reflect this. If it were me, I'd 
allow 'both' to work as well.
