Direction tick marks

[NikkiZabel]

Hi, the option to change the direction of the tick marks seems to have been removed in the latest version. Why is that? I'd really like to be able to have them on the inside of my figure! Thanks!

Hello! Is this still an open issue? All of the documentation shows images with tick marks inside the plot, but no matter what I do, they only plot outside of my aplpy.FITSFigure plots.

As far as I know this hasn't been fixed, however astrofrog has suggested using this at the beginning of your script as a workaround:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['xtick.direction'] = 'in'
mpl.rcParams['ytick.direction'] = 'in'

This workaround has worked nicely for me.

Hello, I’ve gotten around it in a similar way, but it would sure be nicer if the option would come back in aplpy, I think!

You can now do this with fig.ticks.set_tick_direction('in') (or 'out') in APLpy 2.0
