Hi,

You could use the ticks' properties (one of their children is a
matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance which you could modify to your wishes). The
second possibility is see is you put a box with only two drawn borders around
the labels, which I think might lead to problems.
So if you want to inspect, what you can do with those ticks you can use
pyplot.getp(object_to_inspect) and pyplot.setp(object_to_inspect) aswell as
dir(object_to_inspect).
I mostly do this by having an open python shell where I create and check out
the properties I want to work on and a little script I modify to check out how
the changes affect the plot. What I did looked something like this:
>>> from matplotlib import pyplot
>>> fig = pyplot.figure()
>>> p = fig.add_subplot(111)
>>> p.yaxis.set_ticks([3,4,5])
[<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xa3b580c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at
0xa6861cc>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xa6a858c>]
>>> m = p.yaxis.set_ticks([3,4,5])
>>> dir(m[0])
['__class__', '__d..........., 'get_children', 'get_cli.......]
>>> pyplot.getp(m[0])
alpha = 1.0
...
children = [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xa3b5fac>, <m...
...
>>> m[0].get_children()
>>> pyplot.getp(m[0].get_children()[0])
>>> pyplot.setp(m[0].get_children()[0])
and if you don't have the return of creating the ticks ("m" in this case) then
you can get then using
>>> p.yaxis.get_children()
[<matplotlib.text.Text object at 0xaa80a6c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at
0xaa9494c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaa80a0c>,
<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab650c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at
0xaab652c>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab68ec>,
<matplotlib.axis.YTick object at 0xaab6cec>]
Hope it helps,
Malte
