Implement support for hiding ticks labels from a stylesheet and/or "rcParams".

[KelSolaar]

Feature request

Feature summary

I would like to be able to hide ticks labels directly from a stylesheet and/or rcParams which does not seem to be currently possible. One can hide ticks as follows:

Code for reproduction

with plt.style.context({'xtick.bottom': False, 'ytick.left': False}):
    plt.plot(1, 1)
    plt.show()

but it is not possible to hide the ticks labels thus attributes like so would be a welcome addition:

• 'xtick.top.labels'
• 'xtick.bottom.labels'
• 'ytick.left.labels'
• 'ytick.right.labels'

Matplotlib version

• Operating system: macOs 10.12.6
• Matplotlib version: 2.2.2
• Matplotlib backend (print(matplotlib.get_backend())): module://backend_interagg
• Python version: Python 2.7.14

Is that not xtick.labelbottom, xtick.labeltop, ytick.labelleft, and ytick.labelright?

Hi @QuLogic,

I will try straight away although I don't see those in the big classic stylesheet: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/stylelib/classic.mplstyle

Is there a way to find the full documented list of rcParams?

[KelSolaar]

Confirming it works, thanks!

[QuLogic]

The classic style is there to replicate pre-2.0 style; it shouldn't be taken as a complete listing of rcParams. You can look at the template which should be more comprehensive: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/matplotlibrc.template

Closing, as there is nothing to do here.

Awesome thanks!
