Controling the tick thickness

hi, which option is that? I know the length can be set

    > there, but the width? trying e.g. xtick.linewidth : 1.0
    > does not seem to work.

These aren't covered by default params (well they use the same width
as lines.linewidth

You can customize them with

for line in ax.get_xticklines():
    line.set_linewidth(2.0)

Thanks !
I have try this as in examples/axes_props.py but it doesn't work for me

from pylab import *

t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = sin(2*pi*t)
ax = subplot(111)
ax.plot(t, s)
ax.grid(True)

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

for line in ticklines:
    line.set_linewidth(4)

show()

any ideas ? I use matplotlib-0.87.5 and Python 2.4.3
Is there a way to do this in matplotlibrc like for tick length ?

Bonjour Fran�ois!

Take it easy.

rc("lines", markeredgewidth=4)

There is no reasons to put cycle inside you code.

Thanks for the tips zack !
It works like a dream ...

Is there a way to specify only major or minor ticks marks ?
